Answer:
A. The captain.
Explanation:
In Chapter XXVI of <em>Robinson Crusoe</em> by William Defoe, Robinson Crusoe saw a ship come towards his island and along with that, three captives being led to the island. On further investigation, he found out that the <em>"three prisoners"</em> were actually part of the ship's actual men, one of them being the captain of the ship. He even told Crusoe that he <em>"was commander of that ship, [his] men have mutinied against [him]"</em>.
So, the man <em>"with tears running down his face, and trembling" </em>was the captain of the ship. He told Crusoe how his men had mutinied against him and two of his men, and were now captives at the hands of the mutineers. Thus, the given passage or lines is a description of the captain who was happy and grateful to Crusoe for coming to their aid and saving their lives from the captors.

It is apparently D, because at this point travelling years on the ocean hasn't made Odysseus hasty enough to want to return to his wife and child, and so he is now risking the lives of him and his crew for no reason other than the high of a con. Odysseus is kind of a dork, not gonna lie. His wife has to put up with a ton of manipulative people people vying for her hand in marriage and trying to kill her son, and he takes a leisurely route across the ocean meeting beautiful women and fighting gods.
