Answer:

B. It suggests that Crusoe has to justify his reluctance to sell a boy into slavery.

Explanation:

Though a bit reluctant to sell a boy into slavery, Robinson Crusoe had no other option than to sell Xury to the Portuguese sailor as he needed money. Also that he himself is not capable of taking care of anyone as he is also just a young man. And it should also be noted that it was this same Portuguese sailor who later became an important part of his life. He helped Crusoe in getting into the plantation business.
