The correct answer is B. he advises her that the gift doesn't necessarily mean he truly loves her

Bobo declares his love for Aliya and also accompanies this with a gift. Aliya tells her dad about this and he tells her that the gift doesn't mean he truly likes her. He also tells her that gifts intend to make persons feel indebted but she shouldn't feel that way because no relationship based on material things can overcome the test of time.
