Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Genesis 37 records that Jacob loved Joseph more than his other sons and gave him a coat of many colours, which provoked his brothers' jealousy. Joseph's dreams, in which his brothers and parents bowed to him, intensified their hatred and led directly to the plot to sell him. There is no biblical record of debts or Jacob's instruction.
