Answer
A
realistic to the audience
B
morally sound, yet flawed
C
perfect in motivations and actions
D
archetypal in nature

Aristotle’s tragic hero is generally admirable and recognizable, but not perfect. A tragic figure has a flaw or error in judgment that contributes to a downfall, so being perfect in motivations and actions is not typical. Therefore, the correct choice is “perfect in motivations and actions.”
