The correct answer is C) O vengeance of god, how much you ought to be/ held in fear by everyone who reads/ The things that were revealed before my eyes. (Canto XIV, lines 16-18).

The lines from the inferno that best reflect Dante's message that "it's better to live a Christian life than suffer in hell for eternity are "O vengeance of god, how much you ought to be/ held in fear by everyone who reads/ The things that were revealed before my eyes. (Canto XIV, lines 16-18). The poem refers to the afterlife and different stages of the Inferno, according to the view of Medieval times.

Italian writer Dante Alighieri wrote the "Divine Comedy" that was completed in 1320. It is one of the best works in Italian literature.

The other options of the question were A) and he replied Oh foolhardy creatures, B) Tell me where they are and how to know them, and D) And that we moved on down to the fourth crater.
