Solution
The correct option is B Anansi
Anansi, the Spider is one of the great folk heroes of the world. West Africans originally considered Anansi to be the creator of the world.
He is a rogue, a mischief maker, and a wise, lovable creature who triumphs over larger foes.
Like many trickster figures, the wily Anansi can change his appearance to look like a human, a rabbit, a fox, or other animals.
