<em>The Bet </em>is Anton Chekhov's short story which describes a bet between a lawyer and a banker. They argue about a capital punishment and the former claims that life imprisonment is better than that because at least you know that you are living. At this point, the banker makes a bet with him in which he will give a lawyer 2 million if he is imprisoned for 15 years. The lawyer agrees and the story then shows how his thoughts change over the years because of the books he reads, because of the wine he tastes and most importantly because of the life he lives awaiting his freedom. In the end of the story, the lawyer succeeds changing the banker into someone different which he claims that 2 million is meaningless for him now. The correct answer for the development of the banker is thus the first option. <em>To avoid arousing unnecessary talk, he took from the table the writing in which the millions were renounced, and when he got home locked it up in the fireproof safe </em>is the last sentence of the story in which the banker tries to save the identity of the lawyer by this way.
