If I were you I would say B; for example the Greeks used Helios as an explanation as to what the sun was.

Answer:

B- to teach lessons and explain why things happen

Step-by-step explanation:

The technology wasn't the best in Ancient Greece, so they had to rationalize their existence to the best of their abilities. Religons and belief of higher beings give people a sense of comfort and hope, so they created these myths to better their everyday lives and give themselves a purpose. Adding to that, if you look at old myths like King Minos or Oedipus Rex, they all have overarching morals to teach Greek civilians how to lead a life according to the gods' desires and plans.
