Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
The Exodus narrative presents both Pharaoh hardening his own heart (Exodus 8:15) and God hardening Pharaoh's heart (Exodus 9:12), reflecting the complex biblical tension between human responsibility and divine sovereignty. This is a major theological theme studied in Christian Religious Studies at advanced level. Options A and C are theological overstatements, while D, though partially observable, is not the primary theological point of the narrative.
