Answer:

The corect answer is D) 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Books 21-22 in Homer's "Odyssey", Odysseus must prove his skills and shoot an arrow through the rings of twelve (12) axes in a row to "win" Penelope's archery contest. This was a ruse Penelope came up with to deter her suitors. She would marry whoever could string Odysseus bow and fire it through the rings of 12 axes. Only Odysseus could do this.
