Explanation:

Option B directly quotes the father stating that while he can't know what would have happened in Texas, he is certain his son got an excellent mother, which shows he is grateful they stayed instead of moving. The other options only describe moves, land sales, or the area, not the father's positive feelings about not moving to Texas.

Answer:

B. "If we had gone to Texas, boys, I do not know what might have been but I do know now that you are and that you have one of the best mothers that lives." (paragraph 7)
