Your questions asks why the Southern Military (Confederacy) decided to defend instead of attack.
Your answer would be C). Southern leaders thought their knowledge of Southern lands would help them defeat the Union forces.
The reason why this would be the correct answer is because the South believed that their knowledge of their land would give them the advantage in winning the war. In other words, you can say that the South "played home field." The terrain in the South was different than the terrain in the North, so they used it to get the Northerners (the Union) confused when trying to attack them. The Southerners knew where everything is: all of the bases, hiding spots, etc, and used it to a certain advantage. All in all, the Southern leaders thought that the Union would be weaker on unknown territory.
<span> Finally Ulysses saw Elpenor and then burst into tears, and told him that he did not kill him on purpose and that it was an accident that Elpenor died. Elpenor says that Ulysses has to make his grave for him or Elpenor's ghost will cause Ulysses trouble. Ulysses agrees to build the grave so Elpenor warns Ulysses about more danger Ulysses will face. The last person Ulysses meets on the land of the dead is Teiresias who tells Ulysses where he will land next. After all the help the dead men gave Ulysses they made him leave and told him to return once he is dead. So Ulysses left and him and his crew were once again sailing. </span>
