The correct answer is B as it implies the strenuous lengths Fortunato is willing to go to for the (as per his pride "on his connoisseurship in wine") Amontillado, ultimately leading to his downfall in the catacombs.

He had a weak point --this Fortunato --although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine.
