In the story A Gift of Chappals  why did Ravi and Mridu give the music master's chappals to the beggar?

Correct option is B

Solution- The Correct Answer: B. They felt pity for the beggar's bleeding feet.
> Ravi, Mridu, and Meena saw a beggar with bare, blistered feet sitting in the hot sun.
> Out of sympathy and compassion, they decided to help him.
> Since they could not find any extra pair of slippers, they offered the beggar the music master’s chappals, which were lying nearby.
> Their act shows innocent kindness, though it later created trouble when the music master discovered his missing chappals.
