Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

When a son was born to Confucius, the king of Lu sent over a carp as present. Confucius named his son Carp.

The wise say a carp leaping over the dragon gate is a very lucky sign. My father says he named me Cloud because I was born in the year of the dragon: there are always clouds following a dragon. Confucius' son died an early death. My father has only three daughters.

Knowing the carp is a symbol of luck, perseverance, and success in Chinese culture, what can be inferred from this excerpt from Wang's "The Carp"?

It is better to be named Cloud than Carp.

It is unfortunate that her father only had daughters.

It is appropriate to present new parents with a carp.

It is ironic that Confucius's son Carp died an early death.
