Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Jesus' statement about hating one's own father and life is emphasizing the individual commitment required for discipleship and the decision to follow the path leading to salvation. It emphasizes the personal choice and commitment each individual must make in response to the call of Jesus.

The language of "hate" in this context is exaggerated and is meant to communicate the idea of prioritizing Jesus over everything else, including family ties and personal preferences. However, it doesn't mean a literal call to hatred, but instead, it's about putting the path of discipleship and salvation as the most important priority in one's life. It emphasizes the individual's decision to wholeheartedly embrace following Jesus as the primary objective of their life.
