What is symbolic about the material that Ahab used to make his leg?

Ahab’s artificial leg is made from a whale’s jawbone. Because Moby Dick caused the injury that cost him his leg, using whale bone connects the leg to the whale and reinforces Ahab’s consuming desire for revenge. The correct choice is “The leg is made from a whale’s jawbone, symbolizing Ahab’s desire to take revenge on the white whale that injured him.”
