In antigone, haemon emerges as a defender of the citizens' cause in the face of his father’s tyranny. which lines in this excerpt from the play reflect haemon’s respect for the theban citizens’ opinions?

haemon:
a.[and, as thy son,/ it falls to me to mark/ the acts, the words, the comments of the crowd./ the commons stand in terror of thy frown,/ and dare not utter aught that might offend,/ but i can overhear their muttered plaints,/ know how the people mourn this maiden doomed/ for noblest deeds to die the worst of deaths.]
b.[o father, nothing is by me more prized/ than thy well-being, for what higher good/ can children covet than their sire's fair fame,/ as fathers too take pride in glorious sons? / for whoso thinks that wisdom dwells with him,/ that he alone can speak or think aright,/ such oracles are empty breath when tried.]
c.[see how the trees beside a stream in flood save,/ if they yield to force, each spray unharmed,/ but by resisting perish root and branch./ the mariner who keeps his mainsheet taut,/ and will not slacken in the gale, is like/ to sail with thwarts reversed, keel uppermost.]
d.[relent then and repent thee of thy wrath; / for, if one young in years may claim some sense,/ i'll say 'tis best of all to be endowed/ with absolute wisdom; but,/ if that's denied,/ (and nature takes not readily that ply)/ next wise is he who lists to sage advice.]
