   C. when Odysseus battles the suitors

Explanation:

In literature, the Odyssey is an epic poem written by Homer who describes the journey of Odysseus (who was the kind of Ithaca) and his wandering through 10 years on the sea after the War of Troy.

During this poem we can see some of the events that Odysseus goes through like meeting mermaids, a cyclops, being cursed by Polyphemus (who then curses him to wander for 10 years).

However, while he's gone, his house becomes full of suitors of his wife, Penelope who are trying to take his place. At the end of the book, Odysseus comes back to his palace and finds all the suitors and battles them only revealing his identity at the end and then revealing himself to Penelope who has waited faithfully for him during all these years.

Therefore, the climax of Homer's Odyssey is when Odysseus battles the suitors.
