Explanation:

In the given sentence, "appraising" is used in a context where the general is closely observing and sizing up the person. "Evaluating" means to assess or judge, which fits the context of the general's action of studying and closely observing (appraising) the person. "Informing" (giving information) is not relevant as there's no indication of sharing info. "Avoiding" is the opposite of what's happening (the general is focused on the person). "Envying" (feeling jealous) has no basis in the context.

Answer:

C. evaluating
