The correct option is A.
Douglass made an attempt to escape along with other slaves using a canoe and a forged note. A fellow black slave betrayed them and all of them were arrested and put in jail. To Douglass surprise, master Hugh came to bail him and as if that was not enough, him and his wife welcome him back kindly when he ran back to them from the place where he was beaten up. This shows that slave owners can be unpredictable at times and can even at times forgive a slave who has plan to run away.
