Answer 2

A is a reason for his going, but doesn't explain why the ship has a black sail.
B is certainly not true, because to put faith in him, he would use a white sail.
C? not sure how a black sail is supposed to humiliate the king of Crete. But maybe it is C, like you know a poor man in a king's palace. that type of thing.
D is not a reason for black sail, but also like A, is a reason for going there...
