B. His belief that money can buy happiness.

Explanation:

The Great Gatsby is a book written by F. Scott Fitzgerald that represents the 1920s, which was a time of economic growth as well as excessive drinking, and loss of morals in America.

In the novel, Fitzgerald created a character named Jay Gatsby, who only cared about superfluous things and threw parties to people that were there only for interest, all to attract the object of his affection; Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby's parents didn't have any money, and he grew up thinking he wouldn't be like them, and believed that money can buy happiness. This belief led him to spend money and tried to fix his problems with it and to participate in illegal activities. Gatsby thought that everything had a solution because he was rich so he ended up surrounded by people that didn't care for him because money can't buy friendship or love.
