Answer:
B) He was to prideful and wanted to show Eupaphus he was better
Step-by-step explanation:
Phaethon's story is part of Greek mythology, and refers to the character who was the son of Helios, the sun god. Phaethon was challenged by Eupaphus to prove that he was Helios' son, so Phaethon asked his father to have control of the solar chariot for a day, as he was very proud and wanted to demonstrate that he was telling the truth to his companions. Even with his father's refusal that this would be a risky situation, he can drive the solar chariot but was unable to control it and almost extinguished the land, which was duly controlled by Zeus, who thundered to avoid this tragedy but it ended up culminating in the death of Eupaphus.
