Answer: C. Hell is arranged into different sections as one descends deeper into the earth

Inferno is the first section of Dante's masterpiece The Divine Comedy. In it, Dante presents a vision of Hell that illustrates the religious and moral thought of the Medieval period. This Hell is very well organized. It is divided in nine circles, beginning with limbo. At the very bottom (as one descends deeper into the earth), we find Satan. This completes the structure of 9 + 1 = 10.
