    Solution

    A is correct because 'perplexed' means confused or puzzled, and the sentence shows someone confused by changes. B is incorrect because 'perplexed' is not used to describe movements or actions, only mental states. C is correct because 'perplexed' also means being confused by something difficult to understand, like a puzzle.
