The correct answer is B. Wealth

Step-by-step explanation

The Bushido Code of the Samurai Warriors is a code of ethics for humans formed by a set of values that enable the person to fight without losing humanity and to which the Samurai or Bushi gave their lives as servants.

The Bushido Code is composed of 7 virtues: the first is Righteousness, also known as Justice, for a Samurai, his actions can only be seen as just or unjust; the second is Courage, in which the Samurai is sought to have the courage to act heroically instead of hiding or being afraid; the third is the compassion or benevolence in which the Samurai is instructed to help his companions at any time: the fourth is respect, in which he demonstrates his fierceness through the treatment of others including his enemies; the fifth is honesty, in this the words say and do refer to the same thing, when a Samurai says something he must fulfill it fully; the sixth is honor, it is the most important virtue because he is his own judge, that is, he is the only one who knows what decisions he takes and who he really is; finally the seventh is loyalty, in which it is contemplated that it has to be faithful to what he says or does, that is to say, to the consequences that these can bring.

On the other hand, when we refer to the word "wealth" we are talking about possessions, money or abundance, those things are not contemplated in the Bushido Code because this is a Code of humanity for samurai warriors and not about possessions or wealth. So, the correct answer is B. Wealth.
