Answer:

B). He is known as the champion pint drinker of Limerick.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of 'Angela's Ashes,' Peter, husband of Nora Molly, was popular in Limerick as the 'champion pint drinker.' He was the father of Mikey Molly, a school friend of Frank, who played a significant role in the development of Frank. He is an alcoholic and reckless drunkard who has fulfilled no responsibilities towards his family. This is why he is known as 'pit drunker' and it is this reason, Angela is able to bond with Nora as their husbands have been similarly imprudent and heedless. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
