Atalanta responded by saying that she tells the men that she will give them a head start in the race, but if they accept, they will lose their life.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

People were hesitant to race against Atalanta fearing that they will lose their lives, except Hippomenes who offered to race against her. He possessed the three golden apples of Hesperides which was given by Aphrodite.

When the race began she got a head start. He also caught up with her and dropped one of the apples. She stopped to pick them up, eventually leading to Hesperides overtaking her and winning the race. He won by tricking her.
