The correct answer should be C. They refuse to worship his golden statue. After hearing the lines of refusal from the three men, Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, was furious and ordered his army to tie them up and throw them into the blazing fire seven times as hot as the furnace is usually heated.
