Answer 1

In "Morte d'Arthur," Arthur originally acquires Excalibur when an arm rises up in the middle of the lake to offer it to him. Excalibur is a gift from the Lady of the Lake, representing Arthur's rightful authority as the King of Camelot.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "Morte d'Arthur," Arthur originally acquires Excalibur when an arm rises up in the middle of the lake to offer it to him (option c).

According to the legend, Arthur was told to throw a sword into the lake, and when he did, the arm emerged holding Excalibur. Arthur receives the sword as a gift from the Lady of the Lake, who is a mystical character associated with powerful magic in Arthurian legends.
