Answer:

A - Hearing the Song of sirens

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sirens lure is to attract a sailor or male - The siren in many cultures have different ways to kill men - Greek believe if you love the ocean , and if you have a broken heart, and you sing. They will believe you're a siren. The Starbucks logo has a siren on it because it was said sirens are seductive like coffee. The other religions call them different names like the Rusalka - Russian for a female spirit who lures you to her. In another a Siren is a Woman who seduced a married man later she was killed for adultery - She became so enraged that she goes to all married men and she seduces them. Later when she has you in her arms she catches to fire and you burn to death. Sirens can be anything that you reflect in your mind as well. They can reflect a image of the perfect girl or guy in your mind and They get into your head. They can make you do things and after you do what they have told you to do. They leave you leaving you with a broken heart.

The answer is: A. Hearing the sirens singing .

In "The Oddysey," Odysseus plugs his ears and makes his men tie him to the mast of his boat so that he does not jump into the sea when the he hears the song of the Sirens. Their song is so seductive that he is the only man who hears the song of the Sirens and survives.
