Final answer:

The line that depicts men chasing women in Keats's 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' is 'What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?'

Step-by-step explanation:

The line from Keats's poem Ode on a Grecian Urn that shows the narrator wondering about an image of men chasing women is: C: "What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?" This line clearly depicts a scene of pursuit, with mention of men, possibly gods, and reluctant maidens involved in a desperate chase, which aligns with the student's question about describing the scene of pursuit depicted in the urn's artwork.
