Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
In 1 Samuel 8:7, God told Samuel: 'they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.' God granted the request but made clear the spiritual significance of the demand. He did not refuse the request, nor did He appoint Samuel's sons.
