B is the correct answer.
The Odyssey describes Odysseus, who is the King of Ithaca, and his mens journey home to Ithaca.
The journey is not smooth and it takes them many years with many famous detours, including past Circe.
Eventually Odysseus makes it home to find his wife and son fending off suitors.
I believe it’s the exposition. Hope this helps!
