The correct answer is B. Cuba.

Explanation

The Oldman and The Sea is the main story written by Ernest Hemingway in 1952 who, inspired by his life as a fisherman in Cuba, wrote the novel that would bring him back to the literary world. The Oldman and The Sea is a short novel of only 27,000 words and about 110 pages about an old fisherman and his agonizing fight against a huge marlin.

This book was published for the first time in Life magazine on August 28, 1952. This story brought him a Pulitzer Prize and would consecrate him as a worthy Nobel Prize winner, which he would obtain in 1954. After the immense success of this short story, he continued to live in Cuba, although his stay was now interrupted by visitors and readers who came to Finca Vigía, the home of Hemingway in Cuba, to see him. It is believed that this story is based on his best friend on the island, an old and experienced Cuban fisherman named Gregorio Fuentes. So, the correct answer is B. Cuba.
