Answer:

The correct option here is B)

Mr. White's final wish was for his son to be sent back to the cemetery.

Explanation:

'The Monkeys Paw' written by W.W. Jacobs ends in what is known as a Cliffhanger.

A cliffhanger is a kind of story or plot device in which the conclusion is strangely sudden, leaving the main characters in a tough situation, without providing any resolution.

Such is the nature of The Monkeys Paw.

However we are not without clue. The penultimate sentence reads thus:

"He heard the chair drawn back, and the door opened. A cold wind

rushed up the staircase, and a long loud wail of disappointment and

misery from his wife gave him courage to run down to her side, and then

to the gate beyond"

Mr. White must have asked for his son to be sent back to the cemetery almost a that the same time that the wife opened the door to see the ghost of her son. It must have been a ghost because she was disappointed and wailed loudly in misery as she beheld the face which also disappeared in an instant.

Cheers!
