a. Mr. Hyde

Explanation:

Mr. Hyde was the person responsible for the misdeed toward the young girl. This refers to the trampling of an eight-year-old who had gone out to fetch a doctor. Mr. Enfield convinces the man to compensate the girl's family with one hundred pounds. The man pays for this by using a check signed by Dr. Henry Jekyll. Although Mr. Utterson initially fears it to be a forgery, he soon realizes that the check is legitimate.
