Answer:
B. Smirnov agrees to teach Popova how to fire a gun
Explanation:
"The bear" is an one-act comic play by Chekhov.
The play is filled with comical and absurd situations made only to entertain the viewers, without any particular deeper meaning. These features make it a farce.
The play centers around Snirnov, a landowner, who came to Popova, a mourning widower, considering debt her late husband hasn't paid him. After a short dispute, full with funny dialogues, Smirnov challenges her to a duel, which is already a comical situation, since a man is challenging a woman to a duel.
Maybe even more comical is that she accepts this duel.
But, the funniest situation is when Popova asks Smirnov, his enemy in the duel, to teach her how to shoot a revolver, and he accepts, making their duel completely absurd.
