Answer 2

I believe the answer is: D. He threatens physical harm to Caliban, while he manipulates Ariel psychologically.

In acts I and II Prospero oredered Caliban to fetch more firewood and threaten thatn he will give ariel cramps and aches if he refuses. The act also show prospero's power to control reality that he used to alter ariel's perception of the past.
