Answer:
B. The people in the painting are not looking at Icarus
Explanation:
One difference between Ovid's story of Icarus and Brueghel's visual interpretation is that the people in the painting are not looking at Icarus. There is a Flemish proverb "En de boer ... hij ploegde voort" or "and the farmer continued to plough..." . This points to the ignorance of people to fellow men's suffering. The painting could, as Auden's poem suggests, depict humankind's indifference to the suffering of others by highlighting ordinary events as they continue to occur, despite Icarus' death being uneventful.
