Solution

The correct option is B Xi Lin's brother
Xi Lin's father is a nobleman, but his brother is the army general. The army general is an administrator in the kings court. Xi Lin's friend is the son of a merchant. According to the Chinese class system, the King would be given the highest regard, followed by his administrators (who are also sometimes given the title of nobility). The next would be the nobility followed by merchants and traders.
