Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The title it self refers to a situation in which one person is indicating that one thing is better than other, not necessarily because they are competing (as option a wrongly declares).

Luke Skywalker is a character on George Lucas' modern movie "Star Wars" which was released in the XX Century, while Odysseus is a great hero from Homer's "Odyssey", which is a Greek Poem composed around VIII BC. This is something that educated people may be familiar with, but it is not assumed by the title (as option b. wrongly declares).

Now, the title doesn't allow a generalization that modern movies are better that ancient stories (as option c. wrongly declares), because literally the title is mentioning the two characters that are being compared that only happened to be one of a modern movie and other from an ancient story (and that it is additional information, not part of the main meaning of the expression).

So, by making clear that the character of the modern movie is better that the character of an ancient story, in particular. Therefore, the correct answer is option d.
