Telemachus did not tell Penelope that Odysseus is back for the reason that he wants to an avenge to those people who stayed in his kingdom to marry his wife. There were many people especially kings who dominated the entire kingdom knowing that Odysseus has not returned and perhaps they assumed that Odysseus was dead. He disguised himself as an old man and let Telemachus set a challenge for the rest who are interested in the kingdom. Odysseus disguised as an old man completed the challenge and kill the rest of the people inside the kingdom.

The details that best show evidence of tribal traditions are, "never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue” and "it has never been heard," was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later.

The answer would be c. logical because it is explaining how the device is tempting which makes it logical
