B is the correct answer. The boy thought he really wanted the toy, but did not spend much time to think about whether or not it was the best one. He begged for it without considering other options. Therefore, he made an impulsive decision… which turned out to poorly for him when he realized that it wasn’t the best choice (thus, the dangers aspect)

Hope this helped!
