The answer is: B.Jim shows great interest in the torch, but his father barely pays any attention.

The boy is passing by a difficult situation due to his parent get divorced and now her mother lived with Jim, her new boyfriend. He is going to camp with this father, before going he gets his torch and show it to Jim who cares about it and tell him that is a good torch, later when he is on the way with his dad, he asks him if he brought a torch as well and he answers yes.
