Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
According to Luke 15:12, the younger son asked his father to give him the share of property that would fall to him. The father divided his living between them, and the younger son took his portion and journeyed to a far country. The request was specifically for his share of the inheritance, not merely permission or a blessing.
