He was exiled because he refused to compromise his commitment to Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:9 says John was on Patmos “for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus” — i.e., exiled by the authorities for his faithful witness. The other choices refer to incidents involving other people (the silversmiths with Paul) or to issues John isn’t recorded as committing.
