Answer: A He is caught in a harpoon rope and dragged underwater by Moby Dic*

Explanation:

Captain Ahab is a one-legged captain of the whaling ship Pequod. He seeks revenge on the white whale that bit off his leg during the previous voyage. Filled with hatred, Ahab is finally tangled up in a harpoon line and dragged to the bottom of the sea by Moby. The whale sinks the ship and the whole crew dies except for Ishmael. Ahab dies because he let his hatred prevail, which prevented him from being cautious and thinking rationally.
