The question is asking why James and John angered the other disciples of Jesus. The options given are A) they did not go on a missionary journey with the others, B) they asked for a special favour to sit with Jesus in his glory (which is the correct answer), C) they were lazy, and D) they deflected to join the disciples of John the Baptist.

In the Bible, James and John were two of the twelve disciples of Jesus. In the book of Mark, chapter 10, James and John asked Jesus for a special favour to sit with him in his glory. This made the other disciples angry because they thought James and John were being selfish and seeking special treatment.

It is important to note that seeking special treatment or putting oneself above others is not in line with the teachings of Jesus. Jesus taught his disciples to love one another and to serve others.
