Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

The story can be found in Genesis 37:12-36

According to this biblical account, Joseph's brothers were jealous of him because their father, Jacob, showed favouritism towards Joseph. Joseph had also shared dreams with his brothers in which he seemed to have a position of authority over them, which further fueled their resentment.

Reuben, however, was not in favour of harming Joseph. Instead of letting his brothers kill Joseph, Reuben suggested that they throw him into a pit or a dry well, intending to later come back, rescue him and bring him back home. The idea was to prevent Joseph from being killed by his jealous brothers, and Reuben intended to return and bring Joseph safely back to their father.
