Answer: d) Antigone’s status as one of the last surviving women in the house of Oedipus helps motivate her in the play.
Explanation:
Antigone's brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, fought for the throne of Thebes and both died in the conflict. The new king Creon, honors Eteocles by burying him but leaves Polynices on the field to disgrace him.
