C. He binds himself to the mast

Explanation:

When Odysseus is passing near the Sirens he makes his men put beeswax into their ears so they cannot hear the Sirens.

The Sirens are supposed to produce a lustful song that seduces men into their liar never to come back.

He makes his men plug their ears but himself remains to hear the voices. To save himself from going for their call he asks his men to tie him to the mast so he cannot escape the ship.
