Answer: b. The leopard appears graceful but can be treacherous.

In this section of The Divine Comedy, Dante encounters a leopard in his path. As he is trying to pass it, the leopard moves several times in order to block his way. He was not intimidated by his presence, and would not retreat. Dante describes the leopard as "lithe and fleet" in order to imply that even though the leopard appears graceful, it can be treacherous.
