This is not the best choice. "All that glitters is not gold" is an idiom which means that not everything that is attractive and alluring (all that "glitters") is necessarily worthwhile or of value. Example: The handsome, rich man at the party turned out to be a criminal, proof that all that glitters is not gold.
This is not the best choice. "Look before you leap" is an idiom used to caution or warn someone to be prudent or careful before taking action. For example: I would do some research before investing in this company. You should always look before you leap! To "leap" means to jump!
This is not the best choice here. "To be on one's best behavior" is a phrase meaning "to act in a mature and sensible manner." It is often said by parents to their children. Bruno is not instructing Horatio to behave sensibly or civilly, but rather asking him to be patient when viewing the art at the gallery.
This is the best choice here. The expression "keep an open mind" is a request or command for someone to enter a situation without prejudice or without a preconceived opinion or idea. In this context, Bruno requests that Horatio keep an open mind about the paintings he is about to see, likely because they will be modern, shocking, "cutting edge", etc. The idiom "don't jump to (any) conclusions" is a similar request for someone to be unbiased, or not to make a judgement right away.
