Answer:

The correct answer is that he turned her daughter into gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Silenus, who was a companion to Dionysus, was lost and it was King Midas who found him and offered him asylum. King Midas was so kind and made his stay so pleasant that when Dionysus went in search of his companion, he wanted to thank Midas for all the hospitality he had had, granting him a wish.

Midas wished that everything he touched turned to gold. Dionysus did not want to fulfill this wish but King Midas was very stubborn and did not want to change his mind, so Dionysus ended up agreeing.

Midas was amazed at his new power, so much so that he went to show it to his daughter but as soon as he touched her, he turned her into gold.

Desperate he went to ask Dionysus to undo his wish and return his daughter to him. Dionysus did it and Midas learned his lesson.
