The best answer is A) He wanted to inspire the children in his audience to seek out the answers to their questions.

Michael Faraday was a devout Christian, so Christmas wasn't just another day to him. Faraday was a professor in the Royal Society and didn't have those kinds of ambitions, or a desire to become super rich. Michael Faraday was just an all-around great dude who loved his religion and loved science.
