Answer

D. The king requests that Perseus bring him medusa's head.

Explanation:

Of the numerous famous mythologies, the story of Perseus and Medusa is one of the most significant. Greek mythologies rely heavily on the gods and their demi-god off springs. Persues is also one such demi-god, the son of Zeus and Danaë.

Danaë's father had been warned by an oracle that his grandson from Danaë will kill him and take his place as king of Argos. In order to stop this from happening, he imprisoned her. But Zeus still impregnated her, resulting in Perseus. Afraid of actually killing a son of God, the king cast the mother-son duo into the sea where they were taken by a fisherman Dictys. Dictys's brother, the king of the land, wants to marry Danaë which Perseus didn't allow. So, Dictys planned for ways to get rid of Perseus.

He asked his men to bring gifts for him so that he will woo Hippodamia. He asked everyone to bring him horses, and he knows Perseus had none. So, Perseus offered to get him anything he requested. Dictys asked for the head of a Gorgon Medusa. This is the main conflict in the story of Perseus and Medusa.

What does a government do when it vows to achieve disarmament

Ratling [72]

The thing which a government does when it vows to achieve disarmament is to:

Be accountable
Show the destruction of weapons to the world
SIgn peace treaties.

<h3>Disarmament</h3>

This refers to the situation where a country decides to reduce, limit or eradicate its military weapons, usually nuclear weapons.

With this in mind, when a government says that it wants to achieve disarmament, then it would have to go through the process of disarmament which has to be transparent and open to all and also a legal contract would be signed.
