Answer : A. Ooka recognizes that Gonta isn't stealing for profit and trusts that Gonta will repay what he's stolen as soon as possible.

And true enough, when Gonta earned a job by himself he went back to the rice store and return the exact amount of rice which he had stolen before. It maybe impossible but Gonta proved that a thief can also become an honest person all at the same time.
