A The Boer is likely to be the real enemy of all of the animals.
B It is likely a setup, and the crocodile will end up swindling them.
C The crocodile is likely to repent and change his ways in the future.
D The crocodile in this case is probably really overcome with gratitude.
The correct answer is B: It is likely a setup, and the crocodile will end up swindling them.
Explanation: The phrase “crocodile tears” implies that the crocodile is feigning emotion or remorse, suggesting that the meeting is not what it seems. This indicates deceit rather than sincerity, making it likely that the crocodile is setting up the other animals for a trick or swindle. This aligns well with the negative connotation of the expression.
