Respuesta :

The correct answer is:

A) because the man is afraid of death, but Death is happy to have another victim.

In other words, the man does not want to die (naturally, like all of us), but the death is willing to bring another victim to the world of the dead. This is the moment that one may call "Inevitable fate".
