Correct Answer

A. Uther

Explanation

King Arthur's father was Uther. This can be inferred from various sources of Arthurian legend, including Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae and Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. Uther Pendragon is commonly depicted as the father of King Arthur, who was conceived through magical means with Igraine, the wife of Duke Gorlois of Cornwall. Uther plays a significant role in the Arthurian mythos, particularly in the story of Arthur's birth and early life.
