The correct answer is D) He tricked the genius into returning to the pot.

Explanation:

When fisherman freed the genius from the pot, he started giving him death threats, which scared the fisherman. After some time, fisherman came with a idea and said to the genius that he can only kill him if he can prove that he really came out of the pot and that he does not believe that such a huge monster (genius) can fit into a small pot. The monster agreed and went inside the pot but the clever fisherman sealed the pot again.
