Which evidence BEST shows why Helios "would soon come to regret" his hasty generosity? A. The earth was damaged forever. B. Phaethon wanted the glory of driving the chariot. C. Phaethon decided to drive the chariot closer to the earth. D. The chariot was quickly righted.

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.
