Answer:
D). He would never need help from a mouse.
Step-by-step explanation:
The lion was filled with so much pride and honor that he failed to recognize anyone's worth or efforts. It is due to this trait, it becomes evident that he(the lion) felt that 'he would never need help from a mouse' whom he considered inferior to him. He was so overpowered by his excessive pride and pleasure that he treated every other creature as disciple or adherent to him. Thus, it becomes visible that he feels he would not need help from a small creature like a mouse. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
