Answer:

"The Monk's Tale" written by English poet Geoffrey Chaucer around 1387 is part of the collection of "Tales of Caunterbury", and in this series The Monk defines tragedy, and particularly "the collapse of power"; akin to when someone powerful falls down to misery, arguing that wealth in the world can be an illusion, i.e. when he says: "if fortune decides to flee, No man may stay her course or keep his hold".

Thereby The Monk would most likely agree with statement (B.)
