The correct answer is C. He was displeased with David.

According to the Holy Scriptures, specifically at the conclusion of the account regarding David's actions with Bathsheba and the engineered death of Uriah the Hittite, the Bible states:

"But the thing that David had done was displeasing in the eyes of the Lord" (2 Kingdoms 11:27 / 2 Samuel 11:27).

Following this displeasure, the Lord sent the Prophet Nathan to confront David, which eventually led to David's deep repentance as expressed in the well-known Matins and Liturgical prayer, Psalm 50 (51), "Have mercy upon me, O God" (ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ).
