Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
In 2 Samuel 7:12-16, God promised David through Nathan that He would establish David's dynasty forever, that David's son (Solomon) would build the temple, and that God would establish the throne of his kingdom forever. This covenant is theologically significant as it forms the basis of messianic expectation fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The promise of an everlasting dynasty, not merely Solomon's greatness, is the core of the covenant.
