Answer:
C. He is trying to make fun of Robert's limited math knowledge.
Explanation:
"The Number Devil" is a children's book written by Hans Magnus. This talks about the adventures of Robert and how he learns math from Teplotaxl, the Number Devil.
The situation above shows that the Number Devil is making fun of Robert's limited math knowledge. If you happen to read the book, you'll notice that all throughout Robert's dreams, he and the Number Devil would often challenge each other mathematically. The Number Devil cannot understand why such simple mathematical concepts cannot be understood by people like Robert. However, their relationship grows as the mathematical adventure progresses. Being a mediocre when it comes to his math skills, Robert learned so much from the Number Devil although he was skeptical of him at first.
So, this explains the answer.
