Answer:
D. An issue the character faces with him/herself
The answer to this question is in Auden's words "for instance". His poem is not specifically about Icarus and his tragedy. It transcends this particular story, elevating its message to the highest, universal level. The poem is about suffering as an integral constituent of life. People are often completely unaware of other people's suffering. The Icarus motif is just an example, albeit a very drastic one. It serves as the poem's climax. The "delicate ship" is on its course and it keeps sailing, although the crew must have seen "a boy falling out of the sky". In other words, the strange death of a young boy changes nothing in the course of other people's lives. That is why, unlike Williams' poem, this one doesn't even have Icarus in its title, but the Museum. It deals with the relations of life vs. death and art vs. reality, rather than Icarus' tragic story.
An example of this would be not paying attention to the more important things in a situation.
So picture this; Jacob gets in a argument with his mom in public. They're standing at the crosswalk, waiting to cross. Jacob's mom is annoyed by Jacob being on his phone instead of talking to her, so the two start arguing. Jacob's mom wasn't paying attention, and heard the chirp of a nearby crosswalk signal telling their people to walk. She does not look where she is going, walks into traffic, and gets hit. The small decisions were her not paying attention and she decided to pick a fight. The consequence of these built up and she got hit by a car.
