"protect me on this dangerous journey.

Remember me, help me, hear my prayer."

Answer:

B)the ability to receive help from a supernatural force

Step-by-step explanation:

The hero has the ability to receive help from a supernatural force, it is often a characteristic of heroes that they are "The Chosen Ones" by a superior force or a God, so they often receive force form supernatural forces, Achilles got his powers from a magic river where his mother submerged him, Hercules was the son of Zeus which gave him super human strength and inmortality, so a common characteristic for heroes is that they receive help from super natural forces.
