Explanation:

In "The Call of the Wild", Buck was taken from California because Manuel, a gardener's helper at Judge Miller's place, stole him and sold him to pay his gambling debts. Option a is incorrect as Buck didn't wander off. Option c is wrong because Judge Miller didn't sell him due to being broke. Option d is incorrect as Judge Miller didn't give him to a son who sold him. So the correct reason is Manuel using him to pay gambling debt.

Answer:

B. Manuel used him to pay his gambling debt.
