How does the parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) challenge the common misconception that faithfulness solely consists of avoiding wrongdoing and remaining passive?

A It emphasizes that true faithfulness involves actively using the gifts and resources entrusted to us for God's glory and the benefit of others, rather than simply avoiding sin. B It primarily focuses on the importance of judging others' actions based on the results they achieve, regardless of their effort or intention. C It suggests that those who are naturally gifted and talented are more favored by God and will receive greater rewards. D It implies that God's ultimate goal is to test individuals' ability to accumulate wealth and material possessions.
