A) Tortoise did not attend Jupiter's wedding.

Explanation:

The Aesop's fable "Jupiter and the Tortoise" tells the story of how the tortoise  became to be attached to his home on his back. This fairy-tale begins with the wedding invitation of Jupiter who had decided to get a wife. He invited all the animals for the party and gave a generous feast. But he also noticed that the Tortoise did not turn up for the wedding. When he asked why, the Tortoise replied that he didn't care much about parties and would rather prefer staying at home. That is how tortoises have their shells on their back, a result of the curse of Jupiter.
