The correct answer for why a student would include an allusion to Mr. Krabs, a cheap and greedy owner of the Krusty Krab restaurant, when describing a friend who does not want to let them borrow 25 cents is: To show that the student's friend is tight with their money.
The reason for this choice is that Mr. Krabs is widely known for his extreme stinginess and unwillingness to spend money. By alluding to Mr. Krabs, the student is comparing their friend's behavior to Mr. Krabs' character, implying that their friend is similarly unwilling to part with even a small amount of money. This allusion helps to convey the idea that the student's friend is cheap or tight with money in a meaningful and recognizable way.
To come up with this answer, I analyzed the provided information about Mr. Krabs being cheap and greedy, and considered how this characteristic can be used to describe a person who refuses to lend just 25 cents. By connecting the dots, I arrived at the most logical interpretation of the student's intention in making this allusion.
