Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Dante's view of traitors as the worst of a sinner is evident when he shows that they reside in the final ring of Hell. Inferno is the first part of Italian writer Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. The Inferno tells the journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. As an allegory, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul towards God, with the hell that describes the recognition and rejection of sin.
