Answer: C)The father must choose between the deaths of his children or the deaths of them all.

A moral dilemma is a decision between two extremely unpleasant outcomes involving an ethical question. The main moral dilemma that the characters of "Hansel and Gretel" face is the father's decision between the deaths of his children or the deaths of the whole family. The family is extremely poor, and they cannot afford to raise the two children. The father ends up abandoning the children in the forest, as he decides that this option is better than the death of the whole family.
