Final answer:

The question pertains to the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard where those hired first grumbled upon receiving the same wage as those who worked less. This doesn't align with options A, B, C, or D provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to be referencing a biblical parable rather than a historical event, specifically the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard found in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.

In this parable, those who were hired first began to grumble or feel disgruntled when they received only a denarius after seeing that those who were hired last also received the same amount, despite working fewer hours. This reaction falls under none of the options provided (A, B, C, D).

It illustrates a moral lesson about envy and fairness, rather than a direct historical or economical action like planting crops, resting, bargaining for wages, or distributing money to others.
