From what I recall in English class, Odysseus was a man of pride with an enormous ego. In addition, he showed a sense of curiosity. I can tell you I am positive the answer is not A. B and C are both possible, but I am going with B. C is a little far fetched simply because of "If they did not stay to say 'hello." Hope this helps.
The narrator used the word "I" meaning it's in 1st person & that the current story is being told by someone that it directly affects. For example, "I am typing an answer right now,".
