    Money motivates the lawyer to participate in the bet.

    Answer: D

    Explanation

    The lawyer and the banker made a bet to decide whether death penalty is better or worse than life imprisonment and was worth two million.

    Before the bet, the lawyer spent 15 years in isolation since he said life imprisonment is better than no life at all even if it meant suffering.

    His motivation was money as he puts in his letter; that he dreamt of a paradise and there was no way he could have made the 2 million in 15 years.

    When the banker made a bet, he was merely motivate by boredom and as the 15 years of the lawyer's end of isolation approached he had lost the money and wouldn't afford to pay the lawyer. Hence he plot to kill him.
