Answer:

Explanation:

This is tough to explain. What it means is that one child was born in the spirt and would be granted what Abraham has, the other was not. He was born from a woman that would not share the covenant made with Abraham. She was a slave.

The story is about Hagar and Sarah really. It is only inferentially about Isaac and Ishmael. Sarah was free. Hagar was a slave. Christians who believe by faith in Christ will inherit the covenant made with Abraham. Those who do not will not get what Abraham's covenant promises.

I suggest for a more detailed explanation. you search out Galatians 4:31's meaning.

The Epistle to the Galatians is the collection of the letters by Paul to the Christians. The conclusion is based on the allegorical explanation of the Isaac and Ishmael story.

What was Isaac and Ishmael's story about?

Ishmael was born to Hager in the Abrahamas house and later Issac was born to Sarah. One of the children would inherit Abraham's lineage while the other would not.  As one was born to a slave and the other by the covenant.

Sarah the mother of Isaac was a free woman while Hagar the mother of  Ishmael was a slave. The Christian people of the community have to believe, follow and inherit the covenant made with Abraham but not by the slave Hagar.

Hence, it is said that the community follows the inheritance of the free but not of the slave as Issac was declared as the sole heir of Abraham and Ishmael and Hagar were exiled.

Therefore, option d. Isaac and Ishmael is the story.
