The answer is A. The Emperor Qian Long wrote this letter in response to king George' proposals. By mentioning that the king's embassador may have presented them in a thoughtless manner, and the king's lack of knowledge of the dynasty regulations could break them, the Emperor shows no intention in giving the king's requests.
