Teiresias points out Oedipus's hubris, this being his narcissistic tendencies, as he says in the first line ". . .I am truly great." Hope this helped. :)

The answer is:

d)Oedipus’s hubris

In literature, a character flaw refers to a characteristic in a character in a play or book that leads him to his ruin, hubris, greek word, means taht someone has excesive self confidence or pide, this way in the first line you can read OEDIPUS saying HE is really great, showing off his excesive pride.
