The description that does NOT describe Achilles is D. Dedicated to his family.

In The Iliad, Hector is the one dedicated to his family, Achilles is only driven by emotion, by anger. Achilles only decides to fight when Patroclus is killed, and not before. Even when Agamemnon offers to give Briseis back to him, who he supposedly loves, he refuses to fight.
