Answer:

What Old Musoni means is:

D. He is thinking that his son is not old enough to be on his own.

Explanation:

Old Musoni and Nhamo are characters in "The Setting Sun and the Rolling World". While Nhamo wants to leave home and explore the world and its possibilities, Old Musoni is concerned. The line "...a mere beardless kid with  the milk not yet dry on your baby nose" demonstrates how Old Musoni perceives his son as too young to be out on his own. He does not believe there is anything good beyond the life and place they have known all their lives. Old Musoni fears for his son, thinking he will only find tragedy if he leaves home.
