The statement that best describes the importance of Orestes' story in the Odyssey is D. Orestes' decision is shown as an example of what not to do.
Orestes' story is about him killing his own mother Klytaimestra and her lover Aigisthos as vengeance for his father Agamemnon's death. In the beginning of this epic poem, gods meet in order to discuss this crime and what punishment to give to Orestes'.
