In the lines you cite, Bettelheim believes fairy tales can be used as scenarios that position the child as a transgressor (one with undesirable qualities) and one whose punishment provides a lesson for unruly children. If these children can experience a lesson from this, that implies they are capable of learning from it. This would more or less match answer choice (D).
Answer choice (B) sounds more in line with the author's beliefs, not Bettelheim's beliefs. Bettelheim does not seem to be very sympathetic to children at all in the passage.
Hope that helps!
