Answer:

B) He questions his decision to support his nephew.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anton Chekov's "A Problem" tells the story of a young rich boy, Sasha, who had falsified a document and owed a lot of money to a bank. Either he pay back the money or it will be taken to the court. The family wanted to save it's honor and family name from being tainted. So, they hold a family meeting to decide what best t do. His uncle from his mother's side, Ivan Markovitch had sided with him in the family discussion and had partly won in that the family will pay the capital and that the boy had learned his lesson. But once free, he immediately asked for money from his uncle again. It was then that Ivan Markovitch questions his decision in supporting his nephew only some hours back.
