A man (or a human to be politically correct). In Greek mythology, a monster in the city of Thebes called the Sphinx would ask this question to any passerby and if they couldn't answer it correctly, the Sphinx would eat him/her. In the morning, the man is a baby and he crawls on fours. In the afternoon, a man is grown and walks on two feet. In the evening, the man is old and requires a cane to walk. The man who solved this riddle was Oedipus who, upon solving it, caused the Sphinx to fling herself off a cliff and commit suicide.
Women during that time relied on men to sustain their family, so daughters were commonly married off quickly to a man that looked as if he could provide for his wife and (eventual) family. Mrs. Bennett is eager to marry off her daughter because Mr. Bennet has died and she needs to marry one of her daughters off to ensure she is taken care of by her daughter’s husband. I hope I explained this right!
