Read the passage from The Odyssey - Teiresias.

One narrow strait may take you through his blows:

denial of yourself, restraint of shipmates.

When you make landfall on Thrinakia first

and quit the violet sea, dark on the land

you'll find the grazing herds of Helios

by whom all things are seen, all speech is known.

Avoid those kine, hold fast to your intent,

and hard seafaring brings you all to Ithaka.

But if you raid the beeves, I see destruction

for ship and crew.

Which excerpt from the passage best identifies the conflict that Teiresias predicts as partially a character versus character conflict?

A: denial of yourself

B: restraint of shipmates

C: quit the violet sea

D: destruction for ship and crew
