Solution

The correct option is A he wanted to impress the salesmen.
The lines "He explained that he had come to the same shop in casual dress that morning and had drawn little attention. His pride was hurt and he wanted to assert himself. He had come in good clothes only to get a decent treatment, not for buying any textile" from the passage indicate that the reason the man was well dressed is because he wanted a superior treatment from the team at the textile shop.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A). Options B, C and D are not mentioned in the passage.
