The correct answer is option B - Death.
The wise men brought the three gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, which were the valuable monetary items, and were thus fine and expensive gifts. The gifts symbolize aspects of Jesus' ministry and purpose.
Myrrh is the oil that is used to anoint a dead body before burial. It is offered as a prophecy of the way he would die.
In the Gospel of Matthew, it says that "Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes of life of gathering gloom Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying Sealed in the stone-cold tomb."
