Respuesta :

The sea and its tides (APEX)

The correct answer is C. The sea and its tides

Explanation:

In literature, an antagonist is a character, idea, situation or element that is an adversary to the main character, this means the antagonist is the opposing force that stops the character from achieving a goal or the force that creates the conflict in a story. In the case of the novel "Robinson Crusoe" written by  the English writer Daniel Foe the main character ends in a desertic island after a shipwreck and has to live in the island during 28 years before finally being rescued; in the island Crusoe faces multiple difficulties  related to food, dangers and time completely unable to return home or go to any place. Considering what really stops Crusoe from going home or going to other place which is what he wishes it the sea and his inability to sail on it due to the tides, it can be concluded the antagonist in this novel is the sea and its tides because it is this element the one that takes Crusoe to the island creating the conflict and the force that does not allow him to leave the island.
