Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Micah's central message is summarised in Micah 6:8 — 'He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.' Micah condemned social injustice, corrupt rulers and false prophets, calling the people to ethical living. This verse encapsulates the core of his prophetic ministry.
