The correct answer is C. nursed his torturer back to health

After a shipwreck, a slave who has been ill-treated by the slave masters while he is aboard the ship woke up on an island and found one of his torturers with him. The slave master was badly wounded and unconscious but instead, at taking revenge by killing him or deserting him, he nursed the slave master back to health.
