Answer is Option C: Worried Teiresias’ prophecies might be true, he is relieved to find out they apply to someone else.

Explanation:

In the drama "Oedipus the King" by "Sophocles", Oedipus learns that he is both his father's murderer and also his mother's husband. He thanked Theban prophet, 'Teiresias' to help him see the truth.

From the given options, the most apt statement is Option C. Option A is incorrect as Oedipus has not called Teiresias to cheer him up. Neither he grows angry and vengeful after Teiresias's speech as per Option B. Option D is also incorrect as Oedipus doesn't relax.

c) Worried Teiresias’ prophecies might be true, he is relieved to find out they apply to someone else.

Explanation:

In "Oedipus King" Teiresias takes on the role of a prophet who reveals to Oedipus the truth about his birth and who his parents are and what must happen between them. Although these professions are worrisome, Tiresias does not make it clear that they are about Oedipus and he believes that the professions are for someone else.

In addition, Teiresias claims that Oedipus is the winner of the sphinx and that he will assume the throne of Thebes.
