Surely C is not the right answer ! it should either be A or B.

"And make an orphan of himself" means if his father would have given all the wealth to the orphanage, he himself would be at the verge of becoming poor, hence an orphan.

Which is the right option? Please explain.

Gaurav said:   8 years ago
C is absolutely correct as 'make orphan' is used in the sense for lack of support.

Sonu said:   9 years ago
I think B must be the correct answer.

Anand kumar said:   9 years ago
I am sure, that the answer must be B.

@Sonali.

Your explanation doesn't make any sense to the given condition.

@Sonali.

That's a vague explanation. How can the son become an orphan if the father donates everything and won't own anything? The son would then become "poor", not "orphan".

Orphan means to not have parents. It's not that the father would have died after donating money.

Sonali said:   9 years ago
C is d and. The explanation is that if father donates his entire wealth in an orphanage then the son will become an orphan because his father won't own anything.
