Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

In 1 Kings 1:11-14 (RSV), Prophet Nathan advises Bathsheba to remind King David of his promise that Solomon would be his successor on the throne. Nathan suggests that Bathsheba go to David and, while he is still alive, remind him of his oath so that Solomon would be recognised as the rightful heir, thus preventing Adonijah from usurping the throne.
