B) Loyalty means being faithful and protecting family and friends.

In Rikki Tikki Tavi, a mongoose named Rikki Tikki Tavi is adopted by a human family. The conflict is between Rikki and Nagaina, a cobra. Rikki defeats the cobra in the end and successfully protects his adopted family.

Out of all the options given, B seems most fitting when compared to the plot of the story.
