Answer:

Option B. Prometheus carried burning embers down from Mount Olympus.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Greek Mythology, the Titan Prometheus was known as a naughty trickster and got punished by Zeus for it. The story tells that Prometheus felt sorry for men's weakness, so he decided to raid the workshop of Athena and Hephaistos on Mount Olympus as he carried down from it burning embers that he gave to the man to help this one with his life's struggles. By Prometheus' actions men discovered the fire, but Zeus was outraged by the Titan's theft and sent him far to the east, where he was chained, and by Zeus' orders, an eagle was sent to eat Prometheus' liver.
