B.) He resented them because God was lenient toward Adam and Eve but banished Satan.

i say this is because in the last part of the excerpt Satan is jealous of Adam and Eve because they were given more chances when sinning but Satan was exiled and isnt forgiven so in this way because of his jealousy Satan wants to punish them.

Satan's likely motive for wanting to punish Adam and Eve as he was angry with God and wanted to seek revenge by ruining God’s creations.

As Satan disguised himself as a large seabird, Cormorant, he watches Adam and Eve walking erect and working pleasantly among other animals. On seeing this Satan's anger and jealousy intensifies as he sees the beautiful creation created by God after his legions fall. Therefore, he seeks revenge for his fall by destructing the god's creation.
