Answer:
Both choices are correct
Explanation:
In the play Oedipus is searching for Laius' murderer because an oracle tells him only when the murderer is punished will a plague end, but at the end we learn that he is the murderer. So that makes him a criminal and a detective.
Participle is a verbal form that is used as if it were an adjective or adverb.
So, if the verb is, for example, "to bark" the participle would be"barking" as in "this barking dog"
and the correct answer is b. barking!
