he must first light the match before he may pick from the choices given. It is devious to omit the match from the list. To answer the question you have to look for the unstated variable
Sorta like the old riddle:
What weighs a thousand pounds, has a grey wrinkly skin, big ears, a trunk and two teeny yellow wings?

the fire
the fire can
A:light up the cave
B:cook the bird
and C: give him warmth

In reality he needs to light the match itself first.
