<u>D. He felt that fire was a special treasure that only immortal gods deserved to have.</u>
Explanation:
After organizing the Cosmo, Zeus and the other gods created mortal beings. Then, Prometheus (he who thinks before) and Epimetheus (he who thinks after) were commissioned by Zeus to give habilities and qualities to the living beings. Epimetheus gave the animals the qualities we know about each other: the bears are hairy to bear the cold, the cats are fast, the fish breathe underwater, and so on. The problem is that Epimetheus gave all the habilities to the animals, and humans didn't have anything. Humans were unsafe. Pitying, Prometheus stole the fire from the gods to help mankind. But when he did that, Prometheus gave more than fire to mankind, he gave power, and strength to be almost gods. According to Greek mythology, the fire was a sacred element, and only the gods should possess.
