Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

This question refers to the story of the Rich Young Ruler in the New Testament (found in Mark 10:17-22, Matthew 19:16-22, and Luke 18:18-23). In this story, the young man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus responds by telling him to:

Keep the commandments (Jesus lists several commandments, such as not committing adultery, not killing, etc.)
Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and then follow Jesus.

The young man goes away sorrowful because he had great wealth and was unwilling to part with it.
