Final answer:

Antigone is willing to face an honorable death for her decision to bury her brother against the king's orders.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Sophocles' play Antigone, the protagonist, Antigone, makes it clear that she is prepared to face her fate with dignity, even if it leads to her demise. When contemplating the consequences of her defiance against Creon's decree, Antigone expresses her willingness to suffer an honorable death rather than compromise her principles. Therefore, the correct answer to the student's question is (B) honorable. Antigone sees her actions as just and in accordance with the unwritten and eternal laws, and she is ready to die with honor for honoring her dead brother, Polyneices.
