For "Chaucer: Knight's Tale"

Which passage shows the influence of the gods on the outcome of the duel between Arcite and Palamon?

A. The altar fires began to burn so bright / That Mars's temple soon was all alight. The floor gave up an odor sweet and grand.

B. The statue's hauberk then began to ring, / And with the sound was heard a murmuring: Though low and dim, and word was "Victory!"

C. A Fury sent from Pluto bounded right / Out of the ground (sent by request, of course, / Of Saturn), which so frightened Arcite's horse / It turned and reared

D. "Mine's the ruin of many high built halls, / The falling of the towers and the walls / On carpenter and miner."
