In the Parable of the Unjust Steward (Luke 16:1-13), what is the most likely reason Jesus commended the steward's shrewdness, even though he acted dishonestly?

A Because Jesus approved of dishonesty when it achieved a desirable outcome. B Because the steward's actions demonstrated the importance of prioritizing earthly wealth above spiritual values. C Because the steward used worldly wisdom and initiative for his immediate future, a lesson for believers to use similar diligence in preparing for their eternal future. D Because the steward's actions were a direct reflection of God's own methods of dealing with humanity.
