Explanation:

When Sergeant Morris tries to warn the White family of the consequences of using the monkey's paw, they just make fun of him.

We can see it in the following quote:

"Hold it up in your right hand, and state your wish out loud so that you can be heard," said the Sergeant-Major, "But I warn you of what might happen."

"Sounds like the‘ Arabian Nights ’," said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the dinner. "Don't think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."

Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three laughed loudly as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm.

Ignoring the wisdom of someone who had already used the paw, led them to the misfortune of ending up with their son dead.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option B.
