To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the information given in the question. The story is titled "If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth..." which suggests that Earth holds a significant importance in the narrative. The question asks why Marvin's father took him to see the view of Earth from The Colony.

Answer A states that The Colony had just discovered Earth as a new planet in their galaxy, and he wanted to share the exciting news. This option seems unlikely as The Colony is already aware of Earth and has a view of it.

Answer C suggests that Marvin's father took him to see what The Colony had done to Earth, destroyed it so humans wouldn't destroy them first. However, there is no indication in the question that The Colony destroyed Earth, so this answer is also unlikely.

Answer D implies that The Colony was about to invade Earth, and Marvin's father wanted him to join the mission. Again, there is no information in the question supporting this scenario.

Answer B states that Marvin's father wanted him to understand what they were working towards, a return to Earth when living conditions would allow. This option seems most plausible as it aligns with the significance of Earth in the story and the idea of The Colony striving to return to it.

Based on the analysis, it is most likely that the correct answer is B. Marvin's father took him to see the view of Earth from The Colony to help him understand their goal of returning to Earth when conditions are suitable.
