B.) Cadmus is reproaching Dionysus.
Reproach means accuse someone of something or to address someone in such a way as to express disapproval or disappointment. Cadmus is accusing Dionysus of being too harsh. Thus, the answer choice you are looking for is B. I hope this helps :-D

Answer:

Cadmus is reproaching Dionysus.

Step-by-step explanation:

This dialogue presents how Cadmus reproaches Dionysus behaving, he says that Gods are too harsh with humans and take insensitive decisions upon them when we reproach we disagree with something and we want to show it, we speak out our mind, Cadmus does that through these words "But your reprisals are too severe!"
