Out of all of these I'd say it's B. The real answer is because Thornton was the ideal master. He actually cared for the well being of dogs.

Explanation:

John Thornton is the ideal master because he not only rescues Buck from Hal and Charley's abusive ownership and nurses him back to health but also genuinely loves Buck like no master has ever loved him before.
