Baylee Nichols · Answer 1

c) a sorcerer's mad quest for power ends up destroying him in the end

Explanation:

Classical tragedies are the tragedies that had the origin of the Ancient Greeks. It is considered one of the oldest genres of drama. Tragedy defines a mis-happening or a misfortune that is focused on a written form of art. Classical tragedies had two important characteristics. One is Hamartia which is referred to as the tragic flaw of the hero which forms the reason for his downfall. The other is Peripeteia which is referred to as the reversal of the fortune of the hero.

The story premise of the option (c) clearly states it to be a classic tragedy. The sorcerer's madness behind power forms the path for the Hamartia while his destruction at the end forms the path for Peripeteia.
