This excerpt doesn't give much detail but I'm pretty sure this is
Polyphemus speaking. He is a cyclops, and son of Poseidon. When Odysseus
and his men were trapped in a cave with the giant man-eating cyclops,
they plotted to blind him and escape. So Odysseus got Polyphemus drunk
on some kind of wine and waited for him to pass out. Then they got a
huge stick or branch, sharpened the end and plunged it into the giant's
eye. One can easily surmise that Polyphemus would seek revenge for this,
so answer B is definite. Answer A might be an additional factor, as
Polyphemus does refer to him in this passage as "raider of
cities"--indicating perhaps some disapproval--but the damage to his
(only!) eye would be the most important issue, since that is personal.
