The correct answer is A: He would lose his wife forever.
In the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, Orpheus ventures into the Underworld to retrieve his wife, Eurydice, who had died. He is granted permission to bring her back to the living world on the condition that he does not look back at her until they reach the surface. However, Orpheus, unable to restrain his love and doubt, looks back just before they exit, resulting in Eurydice being taken back to Hades forever.
