Answer 1

The correct option is A Pygmalion was the king of Cyprus and a very talented sculptor of a village named Acanthus.

Option B is incorrect because Cyprus and Acanthus are two different geographical regions, one a country, another a village Option C is incorrect because there are two names, one of the village and another of the king, but the option denotes both names as that of the king. Option D is incorrect because Pygmalion could not be named Acanthus too. Therefore Option, which correctly chooses the names and their corresponding persons and places is correct.
