    The best answer to this question should be ...

    c) Ivan Ilyich doesn't treat Gerasim as his son, but Gerasim treats Ivan as his father.

    In " The Death of Ivan Ilyich," many direct and (some) indirect incidents occur where Ilyich doesn't treat Gerasim like any other father would usually treat his son. Although, there are many scenes where Ivan keeps his cool and continues to treat Gerasim kindly.
