Explanation:

The excerpt shows how vindictive Roger Chillingworth is. Early in the excerpt we see that Roger Chillingworth decides to help Hester survive, not because Chillingworth wants the good Hester, but because he wants Hester to survive, to live a beam of shame and pain. Death wouldn't end Hester's shame, so Chillingwoth wants to see Hester alive suffering and ashamed.

The answer to your question is "he has no intention of truly alleviating Hester's suffering", we can see that during the excerpt: “Even if I imagine a scheme of vengeance, what could I do better for my object than to let thee live,—than to give thee medicines against all harm and peril of life,—so that this burning shame may still blaze upon they bosom?”

B - he has no intention of truly alleviating Hester's suffering.

This is shown when he touches the scarlet letter and she makes an involuntary gesture of shame and then he smiles. He's secretly glad she's been scorned.
