Explanation:

To determine why Odysseus is a dynamic character, we recall that a dynamic character is one who undergoes significant internal change over the course of a story.

• Option A describes his situation (being away from home and missing family) but not a change.
• Option B describes an event (a battle and divine assistance) rather than a character change.
• Option C states he changes in important ways over his journey, which fits the definition of a dynamic character.
• Option D refers to his literary status, not his character development.

Answer:

C. he changes in important ways over the course of his journey.
