Answer:
The above is a short story narrating an incident about a father and his son with lion.
Explanation:
As the merchant in the story stated above is mentioned greedy. He must have said to his son the option (B).
(B) He asked his brave son to find a blunt object, as the axe will spoil the tiger's skin and we would not get money for it.
Greedy people do not care about dangers but only of money they will make out of it. Because greed makes a person blind. The merchant was oblivious to the ferocious animal's power and asked his son to not attack the lion with an axe. But a precision tool sharply made, that will not damage the beauty and grace of the lion's skin. This will help them to sell it at their demanded price as tiger skin is rare and no one hunts or kills them knowing the predicted outcome of death.
