Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Dr. Faustus, the protagonist in this play acts as highly ambitious, audacious and proud intellectual who does not care of the core Christian belief of sin when he opts for magical power. He craves for absolute, infinite power that no other subject except for magic could provide him. When he signs a deal with Mephistopheles he surrenders himself to the power of magic and witchcraft. And with this power Dr. Faustus enjoys the sublime luxuries and entertainment.
