Answer:

B) It was believed to be the home of the gods.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece. For Greek mythology, the Olympus was the home of the Olympic gods, the main gods of the Greek pantheon, chaired by Zeus. The ancient Greeks believed that there were glass mansions built on the mountain tops where the gods lived. The Olympus was destroyed after the war of the Gods, mythology says that when it was destroyed, it left two divine traces in the form of a man and a woman who must come together to give birth to the son of man who will give life again to the Mount Olympus.
