If "Being the eldest son" is right, then the person that is mentioned after that must be the son not "his father".

For example: Being tired, I decide to take a rest.

According to me, What @Rahul & @Harjot are saying is absolutely correct.

Being the eldest son, seems good.

When son is already being mentioned above, implies that is a male.

According to me, it should be, "He being the elder son, his father expects him to take care of several things besides his regular studies".

I think that in option A "he" should be replaced by "Him".

I think that it should be 'Being the eldest son, his father expects him to take care of several things besides his regular studies'.

i.e. there is an error in part A.
