Answer: The correct answer is : A. Perseus feels challenged to prove his worth to the king.
Explanation: Perseus was the son of Danae and the god Zeus. The oracle said to Danae's father, King Acrisius that someday his grandson would kill him. The frightened king locked his daughter and banished her suitors, but Zeus was a god and he loved her, he entered the prison disguised as a rain of gold and from that union Perseus was born. When the king knew that he had a grandson, he took his daughter Danae and his grandson Perseus and threw them into the sea to drown, but they reached an island where the ruling king accepted them and began to pretend to Danae. When he grew up Perseus accepted the challenge of the king that was to bring him the head of the Gorgon Medusa. Perseus accepted because he loved his mother and had to protect her. Medusa was very horrible that it turned into stone to the one who looked at her. His father Zeus gave him all the help he needed to beat Medusa and take his head.
