Answer:

B) the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself

Step-by-step explanation:

When Santiago expresses regret about leaving Fatima to seek his Personal Legend, the alchemist offers this advice. The alchemist claims here that fear causes suffering, and that if someone is aware of their Personal Legend, refusing to follow it would lead them to suffer even more.
