The correct answer is: A) Vanity is dangerous.

This Greek myth tells the story of Narcissus, known for his incredible beauty, and Echo, a nymph who fell in love with him.

Narcissus was supposed to have a long life, but only if he never saw himself. When he rejected Echo, he angered the Gods and happened to fall in love with himself after seeing his own reflection in the water. The extreme vanity of Narcissus ultimately led to his death.
