The correct answer is B. Odysseus is a hero who fights victoriously against a monster.
Explanation:
An epic is usually a long and narrative poem that tells the story of someone considered as a hero who did extraordinary things, including fighting against supernatural forces or creatures. Additionally to this, epics imply moral teachings and are part of oral tradition. In the case of "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave" that is the book 9 of the "Odyssey" written by Homer the main character Odysseus encounter Polyphemus a cyclops in a cave and after the cyclops kills some of the men that were with Odysseus and imprisons the rest of them including the main character, Odysseus has to fight against the Cyclops to be free, for this reason Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops using a hot staff into the monster's eye and go out of the cave victoriously. In this way, the characteristic of epic this book or chapter shows is how a man becomes a hero by fighting against a monster (the Cyclops) and defeating it, that shows human beings do extraordinary things.
