What gets Odysseus into trouble is when his pride shades into arrogance. Because Odysseus just had to get the glory of besting the monster, he ended up wandering the sea for seventeen years and losing all of his companions to an untimely death. It definitely isn't C, because that isnt why he lies to the Cyclops about his identity. B doesnt seem true because mainly he is just arrogant, less ungrateful. D seems wrong too
I disagree with A mostly because he cared greatly for his men. If you didn't pick that up from your reading, please re-read.
