Correct answer choice:

B.) She was a goddess of wisdom.

Explanation:

Its name originates from the divinity of wisdom, Athena, who became the city's patron deity when a contest with Poseidon took place. The 2 gods battled for who would get the respect of changing into the patron god of town and offered gifts to the people of Athens. Pallas Athene offered the primary domesticated olive tree. Cecrops accepted this gift and announced Pallas Athene the patron goddess of Athens.
