The true statement about Myrtle's death is:
b. Tom's first instinct is to protect himself. Later he cries.
Explanation:
The characters mentioned in the question belong to the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Tom is married to Daisy, and Myrtle is married to Wilson. Tom and Myrtle have an affair, of which Wilson is starting to suspect and Daisy already knows. Daisy is also having an affair with the protagonist of the story, Gatsby. While driving back from New York to their homes in a yellow car, Daisy and Gatsby run over and kill Myrtle. They do not pull over to give any assistance.
Tom is following in another car with Nick, the story's narrator and Daisy's cousin. When he finds out his lover has died, he is in shock for a moment. He is forced to recover quickly when a witness talks about the yellow car that ran over Myrtle. It turns out that the car is Tom's, and Wilson has seen Tom driving it previously. Afraid that Wilson might blame him for the accident, Tom's instinct is to protect himself. He tells Wilson the yellow car is not his, and quickly goes away with Nick, all the time being authoritative. However, as soon as they distance themselves from the scene, Tom begins to cry.
<em>"Listen," said Tom, shaking him a little. "I just got here a minute ago, from New York. I was bringing you that coupe we've been talking about. That yellow car I was driving this afternoon wasn't mine - do you hear? I haven't seen it all afternoon."</em>

<em>In a little while I heard a low husky sob, and saw that the tears were overflowing down his face.</em>

Oxygen supply become alarmingly low.  This is why Krakauer is in a hurry to start back down when he reaches the top of Mount Everest.
<u>Explanation</u>:
“Into Thin Air” by “Jon Krakauer” is story about the author who climbed Mt. Everest. He saw the amazing view of Tibet below him, but he was not able to appreciate it. He was feeling weak and cold. Jon was constantly coughing, and all this was the result of extremely low levels of oxygen due to which his brain was also not working properly.
That’s why he asked “Andy Harris” to conserve the oxygen, but Harris opened the flow of the oxygen. Though he felt a lot better after the oxygen supply, but soon he realized that he would have to go down without oxygen to reach South Summit where another oxygen tank was kept.
