Answer:
C. He watches some birds flying near the tower
Explanation:
I can't recall any version of the story using a secret path or the labyrinth used in other Greek myths, which is why I find A incorrect
B doesn't make sense because in the story Daedalus and Icarus use wings made from what they have and fly out to escape so ships have nothing to do with their escape.
D is what happens as a result of their escape and Daedalus's invention. Daedalus knew what would happen if they flew too close to the water or sun and he warned Icarus but Icarus was too ignorant which leads to his wings melting and eventually his death.
Therefore C is correct, in the versions I know Daedalus gets his idea to escape by flight from watching birds flying near the tower.
