Answer:

Theoclymenus thought that the sign of the hawk and the dove means that:

C. Odysseus's line will reign in Ithaca forever.

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoclymenus also interpreted that the eagle clutching the goose symbolizes that Odysseus will be able to kill all the suitors. When Theoclymenus and Telemachus saw a hawk fly by along with a dove, Theoclymenus interpreted that this was a favorable sign, symbolizing the strength of Odysseus's house and line.
