Which statement best describes a theme of the text?

Religious law is above or greater than man's law.
The laws of the government are sometimes correct and sometimes incorrect.

Part B:
Select the piece of evidence from "Antigone" that supports the answer to part A.

Nor did I deem thy edicts strong enough
Coming from mortal man to set at naught
