D: Atlanta stands tall and firm, holding on to her spear, determined to go on the hunt.

In this way, Atalanta respond to these men and their complaints.

Explanation:

"Atlanta" was a Greek huntress who was meticulous in hunting and was also an awesome athlete. She had always struggled to overcome the gender stereotypes. She was even abandoned by her parents for being a girl and was raised by the hunters.

But when all the warriors refused to hunt the wild boar as he was extremely fierce and large, Atlanta stood firm with the spear in her hand.

She did not believe in gender inequality and was the one who ran and threw the spear on the wild animal. It struck the boar and he was killed.
