Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

The complete verse can be found in Matthew 8:4 (RSV):

"And Jesus said to him, 'See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people.'"

In this context, Jesus instructed the healed man to go and show himself to the priest and offer the gift as prescribed by the Mosaic law. This was not primarily because Jesus feared confrontation or desired appreciation but to fulfil the requirements of the law and provide proof to the people, including the religious authorities, of the miraculous healing that had taken place.
