The correct option is A Since he as a devoted follower of Aphrodite he prayed to the goddess to breathe life into it.
Option B gives the wrong cause-and-effect relation to the implied meaning, hence it is incorrect. Option C does not form any coherent meaning, hence it is incorrect too. Option D also wrongly arranges the words to give incoherent meaning, hence incorrect. Option A, with the proper order of words and coherent meaning, is therefore correct.
