Answer:

A) Want him to buy everything

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have an interesting reference to the idiom everything but the kitchen sink, meaning almost everything possible, whether needed or not. For example, if you wanted to say that someone took too many things with them on a trip, you could say that they took everything but the kitchen sink. The origin of this idiom is not clear.

In this case, the speaker says that the businesses are selling him the kitchen sink, which means that they want him to buy literally everything, even more than what the idiom typically refers to.
