"Paisa" in the Indian sub-continent means hundredth part of a rupee. It is somewhat like to penny, hence very small/negligible amount of money.
A summary of one of the versions of the story is as follows;
A merchant is unwilling to marry his son because he does not believe in the intelligence and abilities of his son. His wife however speaks favorably about their son, and succeeds in getting a chance for his son from his husband. The merchant in order to test his son's intelligence and capacity to learn gives him one paisa to and asks for buying with this something to eat, something to drink, something to chew, something to plant in a garden, and something as food for the cow. The son by the advice of iron-smith's daughter buys a watermelon which fulfills all the requirements. His father is impressed even after knowing the truth about iron-smith daughter's helping his son. He arranges his son's marriage with that girl.

Option A is incorrect because son's mother thinks very positive about his son's abilities.
Option B is incorrect because the story is not one extended description of just merchant's views.
Option D is incorrect because although merchant's son has average intelligence, but his willingness to go and buy such a thing and his unhappy expression are a sign that he is willing and able to learn.
