Answer: C. Demodocus
Explanation:
I believe the right answer to be option C. Demodocus, and not D. Laodamas. In the Odyssey, Laodamas is a prince, the son of Alkinoos. He is an amazing boxer and dancer who challenges Odisseus to join and defeat him in the athletic games.
Demodocus, however, is a blind and very talented minstrel who sings three narrative songs. In the eighth book of the Odyssey, he is called "the splendid minstrel":
"Gentle Demodocus took the proffered gift
[...]
Odysseus spoke again to the blind minstrel
[...] conquering once more by Athena's power.
The splendid minstrel sang it.
And Odysseus
let the bright molten tears run down his cheeks,
[...]"
Odysseus cries after listening to Demodocus sing of how he (Odysseus) won the Trojan war.
