The speaker express the  importance of dharma from this passage "How much more would I do for my father, that he may preserve the vow of truth and serve thy purpose."  

Option A

Explanation:

Dharma symbolizes the behavior of a person according to the Rta which is a order that makes the life and the universe possible. It incorporates all the rights and the duties of a person, the laws he has to follow and how he should conduct, the virtues life offers and knows the right way of living.

In this passage, Rama is following his duties as a son and living his life in right way by following the dharma of being an eldest son where he conveys that being the eldest son, most precisely son, he would do everything that is possible by him so that his father would keep the vow to his step mother of making his son, the younger brother, “Bharat”, as the king.

If I had to guess I'd say the first choice, but I need more info on the question.
