Answer:

B). Hubris.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word 'Hubris' is derived from the ancient Greek context meaning extreme or excessive pride that brings about the destruction of the character. It is exemplified as 'hamartia'(tragic flaw) that makes the character impotent to recognize the reality that ultimately leads them to downfall. For example, Creon's excessive pride('hubris') and stubbornness lead him to failure in acknowledging his faults or follies and ultimately takes him to his demolition. Thus, option B is the answer.
