Answer 1

Answer: (D)

To prove that the monkey was a stupid king

The animals elected the monkey as their king not because he would be a good one but because they were amused by his antics. The fox wanted to be the king and so showed the piece of meat that he knew was a trap to the monkey who immediately fell for the trap. Thus, the fox proved that the monkey was foolish and stupid and made for a stupid king. Option D is the answer.
