Answer:

B. That he feels entitled to Mama's money

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt ,Walter thinks the money the famlily has got from an insurance and that his mother controls, belongs to him. In fact, he thinks he has the right to use that money; he wants it to run his business -his dream-. His mother does not agree with Walter's idea because all she wants is to buy a house for all the family. Therefore, in the excerpt Walter is angry and wants to make his mother feel bad. He does not see the point of his mother asking him for the use she will make of the money.
