Perseus saved whom?

Explanation:
Saving Andromeda from a sea monster is the moment that defines Perseus as a hero. In the myth, Andromeda is chained to a rock as a sacrifice to appease a monstrous creature terrorizing the coast. Perseus arrives, uses the head of Medusa to petrify the monster, and frees Andromeda, choosing to marry her. That act—rescuing someone from imminent danger—is what the question is asking about. Danae is Perseus’s mother, not someone he rescues in this context; Medusa is the creature he defeats, not the person he saves; Helen is not part of Perseus’s rescue narrative. So the correct answer is Andromeda.
