Which inference can be best made about the king ?

The correct answer is A. In The Lady, or the Tiger, we can infer that the king is jealous.

Explanation:

This is because he punishes the young man who had tried to conquer the princess, considering this action as a serious crime, although this boy had not caused any harm and even his love was reciprocated.

The Lady, or the Tiger? is a tale by the American writer Frank Richard Stockton, published in November 1882, in "Century's Magazine."

The tale was initially written to be read during a session of literary society. However, Stockton decided to publish the tale because of speculation generated by the challenging outcome of the story that still persists today as curious readers continue to seek answers to this insoluble literary cryptogram.
