B.

''...It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favourable answer”

C.

...'' God will shortly bring it to pass…”

D.

''...let Pharaoh select a man discrete and wise''

Correct answer is B

When Pharaoh had his two dreams (Genesis ch. 41), he wasn't short of interpretations and meanings. "Pharaohsent and called all the necromancers of Egypt and all its sages, and related to them his dream, but no one interpreted them for Pharaoh." Meaning, not one of them offered an interpretation. Even before he interpreted the dreamsJoseph told Pharaoh that he could not interpretthe dreams but God could and He will give Pharaoh the answer he is seeking (verse 16). Throughout the interpretationJoseph says repeatedly that God has revealed His will to Pharaoh (verse 25, 28) and that God has firmly decided the matter (verse 32).
