The correct answer is: The sleeping men around him look dead.
When Henry wakes up in camp the day after fighting and sees the men sleeping around him, he initially thinks he is in a charnel place because they appear lifeless. This can be understood by examining the description provided in the text. To find this answer, you would need to read the relevant passage in Chapter 12 of The Red Badge of Courage. By analyzing the protagonist's perception of the sleeping men and their appearance, you can infer that their stillness and lack of movement make Henry believe he is surrounded by death, similar to a charnel place.
