Answer: c. It highlights the negative impact of arrogance.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no source attached but this is most probably correct because of the story of Arachne and Minerva.

Arachne was a very skilled weaver who became arrogant enough to challenge Minerva, the goddess of of weaving. Arachne beats Minerva in a weaving contest and taunts her.

This drive the goddess to rage and ends with Arachne being transformed into a spider for all eternity showing that arrogance can have negative consequences.
