Answer :

D.by contrasting the plights of Oedipus's unfortunate sons, Eteocles and Polyneices

im pretty sure that's right I hope it is :)

The correct answer is A. The opening scene reveals Antigone's plan of burying her brother against the king's orders. This marks two of the themes of the play: civil disobedience, as we would call it nowadays, or resistance against unjust authority, and the opposition of divine and human law. Antigone means to bury his brother, in direct defiance of Creon, because his decree (human law) goes against the law of the gods.
