Answer: d) Antigone’s status as one of the last surviving women in the house of Oedipus helps motivate her in the play.

Explanation:

Antigone's brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, fought for the throne of Thebes and both died in the conflict. The new king Creon, honors Eteocles by burying him but leaves Polynices on the field to disgrace him.

Antigone vows to bury her brother Polynices in defiance of the law by Creon and draws her motivation to do so from her status as one of the last surviving women in the House of Oedipus.
