    What statue is located on Olympus and was carved to honor the king of gods?

    • Nebuchadnezzar

    • Zeus

    • Poseidon

    Correct Answer
    A. Zeus
    Explanation
    Zeus is the correct answer because he is the king of gods in Greek mythology and the statue located on Olympus is specifically carved to honor him. Nebuchadnezzar was a Babylonian king and not associated with Greek mythology. Poseidon is the god of the sea, and Jupiter is the Roman counterpart of Zeus, so they are not the correct options for the statue on Olympus.
