D, because according to Soapy, going to jail is a more dignified way to get free room and board for the winter. So, Soapy's real goal isn't jail so much as a way to get food and shelter in the least humiliating way with the least sacrifice of his privacy.

D = Soapy's main goal is to stay out of the elements during the winter season. He also wants three warm meals a day. In past years, his solution to his overriding challenge was to get himself in trouble with the law.
