In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30), what does the master's reaction to the servant who buried his talent reveal about expectations of believers?

A That minimizing risk and preserving what one has is a valid way to serve God. B That God values effort over results, regardless of the outcome. C That believers are expected to actively use and develop the gifts and resources they have been given to further God's kingdom. D That humility and self-deprecation are the most important virtues in God's eyes.
