In the story, as given in the Wife of Bath's Tale, a knight who has been accused of having forceful relations with a woman, has been given conditions under which he would be acquitted. He must find out what women want the most.

In his quest for this answer that is supposed to save his life, he seeks the help of an old, ugly witch.

It turns out, as the witch indicates, that the thing that women want the most is to dominate men.

Strangely, their business relationship becomes a marriage relationship. Before they know each other as man and wife, the witch presents the Knight with a dilemma from which he must choose:

  • For her to be ugly and faithful or
  • Beautiful but promiscuous.

The knight declines from making any of the above choices but asks her to choose instead.

The story as told by the Wife of Bath ends with the witch turning into a beautiful young woman due to the Knight's concession.

The moral of the story thus closely aligns with option A. Men wish to be in charge in the home, however, they'd have to choose that or happiness which comes from allowing women be their own lords.
