The correct answer is C.

When the Green Knight does not die from Sir Gawain's blow, the reader has a major clue that something supernatural is going on. 

Gawain does not give him a little scratch -- he delivers a major blow and cuts off the Green Knight's head. The fact that the Green Knight continues to live, speak, and move after losing his head indicates a sense of the supernatural..

Answer:

c, Explanation: The Green Knight is decapitated by Sir Gawain, but he picks up his head, which continues to speak. The poem says, “Yet all who saw it say ‘twas a wonder past compare.”
