The author did not want to shoot the elephant because he

  • A.Was afraid of it
  • B.Did not have experience of shooting big animals
  • C.Did not wish to kill an animal that was not harming anybody
  • D.Did not find the elephant to be ferocious

Answer: B

Correct answer: Did not wish to kill an animal that was not harming anybody

The Burmans tell him the elephant took no notice of you if you left him alone, and the narrator has already judged that shooting it would be murder. His inexperience is mentioned, but it is offered as a fact about him rather than as his reason; the reason is that the animal is doing no harm.
