D: The correct answer is the meaning of his dreams. Gemesis 37:3-8 provides insight into the reason why Josephs brothers haboured resentment towards him. Joseph's dreams further exacerbated the situation as they depicted him ruling over his brothers which angered them even more (Genesis 37:5-11). It was clearly stated in Genesis 37: 20 that Joseph's dreams of superiority contributed to their decision to plot against him and eventually sell him into slavery.
