Vincent was a wealthy widower who owned some very valuable paintings. Four years ago, Vincent promised to give an original Picasso painting to Bela, his butler, in return for many years of service.

C) Is not entitled to the Picasso painting, as Vincent clearly changed his wishes following the major disagreement with Bela.
