Which statement should be revised for a more formal tone?

A Poseidon, god of the sea, and Athena, goddess of war, fought for the city of Athens. B Poseidon threw his spear, which produced the Spring of Acropolis.
C Amaltheia was kind of like a goat who fed Zeus, which Zeus was really happy about. In fact, he turned the goat’s horn into the horn of plenty.
D Chronos was the ancient Greek symbol of time. His appearance, a wise old man with a long beard, is similar to a current symbol, Father Time.
Sisyphus displeased the gods by disclosing secrets. He found himself forced to roll a heavy stone uphill, only to see it roll back once it reached the peak.

The statement that should be revised in order to reflect a more formal tone would be answer C. These sentences are not in keeping with the other answers within the question. For example, the answer could be rewritten as such for more formality: 'Amaltheia could be compared to a goat. Within Greek myth, Zeus was given food by Amaltheia, which pleased him greatly. So much so, that within this particular story Amaltheia's horn was immortalised as the horn of plenty.'
