Which best explains the symbolism behind ahab’s ivory leg, fashioned from the jaw of a whale in chapter 28 of moby-dyck? ?

a. ahab is a leader who instills confidence and security in his men.

b. ahab is a leader who sets himself apart from his men in order to protect them.

c. ahab hunts whales with the aim of providing a living for himself and his men.

d. ahab hunts whales with the aim of conquering them like an enemy.

the author develops a cold, and scared tone. making the reader shudder with fear, and suddenly become cold. i'm guessing that he's writing a scary novel, or maybe about a chilly december night.
