Final answer:
Athena offered Paris renown as a warrior, which he declined in favor of Aphrodite's promise of Helen of Troy's love, leading to the events of the Trojan War. The correct answer is option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The prize beyond compare that Athena offered Paris was the promise of being renowned for his bravery and his triumphs in war. It was during the mythical contest of beauty between the three goddesses: Hera (Juno), Athena (Minerva), and Aphrodite (Venus), that Paris had to choose the fairest. While Hera promised dominion over Asia, and Aphrodite the love of the most beautiful woman (Helen of Troy), Athena offered him renown as a warrior, but Paris ultimately chose Aphrodite's offer, leading to the legendary Trojan War.
