Answer: D. The banker regrets placing the bet and thinks it was a stupid idea in the first place.

Explanation: The main moral of the story shows the interests of the shallowness of material wealth, as one who is internally rich is not wishing for anything.

A secondary theme is about the death penalty, life imprisonment is portrayed as the better option to death, as the person has the time to develop character.
