The passage from the Ramayana in which the speaker expresses the importance of dharma is B. "How much more would I do for my father, that he may preserve the vow of truth and serve the purpose." This vow of truth and serving the purpose refers to dharma. Dharma is the internal law of cosmos in Indian religion, and it refers to the appropriate behavior.
