What inference can be drawn in this excerpt from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice?

Mr. Bennet's property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two thousand a year, which, unfortunately for his daughters, was entailed, in default of heirs male, on a distant relation; and their mother's fortune, though ample for her situation in life, could but ill supply the deficiency of his. Her father had been an attorney in Meryton, and had left her four thousand pounds.

A.)Mr. Bennet inherited property from his father-in-law because Mrs. Bennet was an only child without any brothers.


B.)Mr. Bennet was originally an attorney in Meryton but gave up the profession to become a clergyman.


C.)Mr. Bennet's property cannot pass to his daughters because the law dictates that a male descendant must inherit it.


D.)Mrs. Bennet has ample fortune to support her unmarried daughters for the rest of their lives.


E.) Mr. Bennet is a man of considerable fortune and belongs to the upper class of the landed gentry.
