B Correct answer
Explanation

Astyanax (spelled Asyantax here) was the infant son of Hector, Troy's greatest warrior, and his wife Andromache. After the fall of Troy, the Greeks killed Astyanax to prevent any future revenge from Troy's royal line.

AI explanation

Astyanax was the young son of Hector and Andromache, born into the royal house of Troy. After the fall of the city, tradition holds he was killed by the Greeks (thrown from the walls) to prevent him from growing up to avenge Troy. He was Hector's child, not his father, and not directly Achilles' brother or Priam's son (he was Priam's grandson through Hector).
