Actually, the correct answer is B. Elie Wiesel called his father's knife and spoon "the inheritance" because they were the only things of value that his father had. By referring to them as an inheritance, Wiesel is highlighting the fact that his father did not have material wealth to pass down to him, but rather these simple utensils held sentimental value and were symbolic of his father's love and care. This emphasizes the extreme poverty and deprivation that Wiesel and his father experienced during their time in the concentration camps.
