how did u arrived at this conclusion (Question: 107485.2 )

how did u arrived at this conclusion....logic is she would have raised her grief and she would be executed like how her brother was exectued

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.


Antigone was one of the daughters of Oedipus, that tragic figure of male power who had been cursed by Gods for mistakenly killing his father and subsequently marrying his mother and assuming the throne of Thebes. After the death of Oedipus, Civil war broke out and a battle was waged in front of the seventh gate of Thebes-his two sons led opposing factions and at the height of the battle fought and killed each other. Odedipus’ brother, Creon, uncle of Antigone, was now undisputed master of the city. Creon resolved to make an example of the brother who had fought against him, Polynices, by refusing the right of honorable burial. The penalty of death was promulgated against any who should defy his order.


Antigone was distraught’ Polynices had been left unburied, unwept, a feast of flesh for keen eyed carrion birds. Antigone asks her sister Ismene, for it was a challenge to her royal blood. “Now it is time to show whether or not you are worthy of your royal blood. Is he not my brother and yours? Whether you like it or not? I shall never desert him-nezer!” But Ismene responds, “How could you dare-when Creon has expressly forbidden it? Antigone, we are women, it is not for us to fight against men. “With a touch of bitterness, Antigone releases her sister from the obligation to help her, but argues she cannot shrug off the burden. “If I die for it, what happiness! Live, if you will live. and defy the holiest of laws of heaven.”

What, in your opinion, would have been the logical end of the story?

Options:
A) Antigone might have agreed with her sister and refrained from giving a burial to Polynices
B) Antigone might have been allowed by Creon to give a decent burial to her brother
C) Antigone might have defied the order of Creon but forgiven by him
D) Antigone might have been excuted for defying the order of the king
Solution:
Ans: (b)Antigone might have been allowed by Creon to give a decent burial to her brother.
