<u>Answer:</u>
The King of Calydon contributes to the central conflict in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress" when he encourages Atalanta to sew with the women instead of hunt; this puts Atalanta at odds with the expectations of society. So, the correct answer option is Option C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The central conflict is the gender conflict and behaviour found in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress." It is through the character of the king that the story shows the prejudice men have towards Atalanta or women in general. When he suggests Atalanta to sew with other women instead of hunting reflects the thought of men towards women. Also, the importance of behaving properly is highlighted irrespective of gender. When the king asks Atalanta to sew he not only demeaned her but also showed himself as a person who thinks gender is superior to behaviour.
