Answer: a. Prufrock worries about his baldness and age.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is a poem by poet T. S. Eliot. It was his first published poem. The poem is written in the stream of consciousness technique that was popular with Modernist writers. It describes the inner thoughts of a common man. He feels impotent and powerless. He is also incapable of action and feels he cannot follow his true desires. He also reflects on the lost opportunities of his life, and the passage of time. He concentrates on his baldness, age, mortality and lack of partner. All this shows that humans have difficulty living in the present.
