The correct answer is C. those who walk with God shall be rewarded.
The speaker says in the poem that it doesn't really matter if you were rich while you were alive - both the rich and the poor are going to die, not matter what. But what does matter is how you lived your life - whether you were religious and loyal to God matters greatly, and if you were, there will be a prize for you at the end of your life and afterwards.
