Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

During the triumphal entry, the Pharisees criticized Jesus because they believed He was claiming to be the Messiah. This is evident in Luke 19:39 where the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples!' They were upset that the crowd was proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah.
