Read this excerpt from Chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies, in which Simon first encounters the severed pig's head.

The pile of guts was a black blob of flies that buzzed like a saw. After a while these flies found Simon. Gorged, they alighted by his runnels of sweat and drank. They tickled under his nostrils and played leapfrog on his thighs. They were black and iridescent green and without number; and in front of Simon, the Lord of the Flies hung on his stick and grinned. At last Simon gave up and looked back; saw the white teeth and dim eyes, the blood—and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable recognition. In Simon’s right temple, a pulse began to beat on the brain.

What does author William Golding allude to by naming the pig's head the Lord of the Flies?

A. He references a Greek myth in which two men fly using wings made of wax and feathers.

B. He references the Bible's Old Testament, which uses that same name for the devil.

C. He references a 1958 film called The Fly in which a man is physically merged with a fly.

D. He references a Greek myth in which a being named Myiagros chases away flies.
