The correct answer is C. the path of morality versus the path of civil law and order. Antigone had a choice - either to obey Creon's civil law, or to listen to her heart and follow her own morals when it comes to the burial of her brother whose body is just left to rot unburied. She decided to go with her gut and fight for her brother's burial, which unfortunately led to her demise.
