What happens to Hassan after the assault?

• A. He is exiled from Baba's household and later killed.
• B. He becomes a wealthy merchant.
• C. He leaves for America.
• D. He remains in Baba's household with Amir.

Answer: (A)

This question is about the fate of Hassan after the assault and what it shows about how his status is treated in the story’s world. After the night of the assault, Hassan’s loyalty and innocence contrast with Amir’s guilt, and Baba’s household ultimately pushes Hassan and his father Ali out. That immediate consequence—Hassan and Ali leaving the house—frames Hassan’s life as separate from Baba’s family. Years later, in the turmoil that follows, Hassan is killed during the Taliban era, confirming the later outcome described in the narrative.

So the best answer reflects both the departure from Baba’s household and Hassan’s eventual death. He does not become a wealthy merchant, nor does he move to America, nor does he stay in Baba’s house.
