<em>The correct answer is A. The little mermaid is in the middle of a shipwreck and needs to save her own life. </em>
Explanation:
A.
<em>The little mermaid is in the middle of a shipwreck and needs to save her own life. </em>
This is the correct answer. The little mermaid has to choose between saving her life in the middle of the shipwreck and saving the little prince
B.
<em>The little mermaid wants to save the life of the drowning human prince in the ocean. </em>
This option is wrong. As this is the final decision of the mermaid
C.
<em>The little mermaid is worried that the prince will reach her father’s palace before her.</em>
This option is wrong, as we were not told in the story if the prince actually knew her father's palace or had the intention of going there
D.
<em>The little mermaid is in a hurry to get to her father’s palace and escape the shipwreck. </em>
This option is wrong. As the little mermaid also realized that he cannot possibly take the little prince to her father's palace as he cannot breathe underwater.
