Answer:

B. The structure of Hell itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dante's Inferno is the journey of Dante through Hell. Dante was led through the Hell by the ancient Roman poet Virgil.

The Hell in Inferno was divided into nine circles. This structure of Hell is designed in an inverted hierarchy.

  • The first circle deals with Limbo; the sinner who were unbaptized.
  • Second with lust.
  • Third with gluttony.
  • Fourth with Greed.
  • Fifth with Anger.
  • Sixth with Heresy.
  • Seventh with Violent sinners.
  • Eight with Malebolge or the Fraudsters.
  • Ninth with the Traitors.
  • The deep end of the Hell hosts Satan.

This structure helps the readers to know that some sins are worst than others.
