Answer: The correct answer is option A) "peripeteia"

Explanation: The play "Antigone" by Sophocles is defined as a tragedy in part to Creon's transformation into a defeated lonely man when he was a proud monarch. This transformation fits with the definition of peripeteia, a sudden reversal in fortune such as the one that Creon suffered.
