The myth explains the natural phenomenon of echoes and has elements of religion as well.

Explanation: Echo in Greek mythology was a mountain nymph who resided on Mount Cithaeron. Zeus loved consorting with beautiful nymphs and often visited them on Earth. After some time, Zeus's wife, Hera, became suspicious, and came from Mt. Olympus in an attempt to catch Zeus with the nymphs. Echo, by trying to protect Zeus (Zeus ordered her to protect him), encouraged Hera's wrath, and Hera made her only able to speak the last words spoken to her. So when Echo met Narcissus and fell in love with him, she was unable to tell him how she felt and was forced to watch him as he fell in love with himself.

A). This myth explains the natural phenomenon of echoes and has elements of religion as well.

Explanation:

Myths are demonstrated as the conventional stories proposing a principal role in society. The myths are of different types some embodying a belief regarding some fact, phenomenon, or experience by personifying the forces of nature or some relating a scared narrative relating to a god, hero or regarding the origin of a particular belief or world, etc.

As per the question, the purpose of the story of Echo(myth) is 'to illustrate the natural occurrence of echoes and containing the religious elements as well'. As per the Greek mythology, Echo is described as the mountain nymph and Zeus(the god of the sky) was fascinated towards nymphs and therefore, he met them often due to which his wife Hera got jealous of nymphs and cursed them(only able to replicate the last words just said by another person). Later, Nymph repeats the words of Narcissus but Narcissus's dejection left her in distress as Narcissus fell in love with himself and led to death. Echo couldn't help it out but only mourning. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
