Respuesta :

A) King Arthur and his men try to reach a truce with Sir Mordred.

I would say from the text provided

The correct answer is A.

Sir Gawain had warned King Arthur that if he were to attack Sir Modred in the agreed upon date, he would be slain. Gawain told Arthur to wait a month before charging against his enemy.

For this reason, King Arthur tried to reach a truece with Sir Mordred until the month had passed and he would be clear to make his move.
