Explanation:

In Orwell's "Shooting an elephant”, every group of people had a different reaction to the elephant's death. The older men agreed with the killing of the majestic animal as it(elephant) ended up killing an Indian and therefore, it required to be killed. The owner was against this killing, but impotent to do anything.

As per the question, the young European men were full of wrath and anger considering the fact that such a huge and majestic animal lost its life due to a 'lower-class Indian'. For them, the animal(elephant) was worth more than that man(Indian). The author intends to reflect the hypocrisy of thoughts of the young Europeans. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
