What prediction does Tiresias make about Creon’s future?

Tiresias predicts that Creon's future will entail the death of one of his children, which serves as a critical turning point in the narrative. This prediction underscores the theme of tragic consequences that stem from Creon’s stubbornness and refusal to heed the warnings of the gods and the wise. Tiresias, as a blind prophet, symbolizes insight and foresight, and his words carry the weight of divine knowledge. The impending death of Creon’s child acts as a dire consequence of his actions and decisions, particularly regarding his treatment of Antigone and the defiance of divine laws. This foreshadowing not only heightens the dramatic tension but also illustrates the inextricable link between personal tragedy and the pursuit of power, a central theme in the play.

The other choices do not align with Tiresias's actual prophecy; while they reflect various outcomes that could arise from Creon’s rule, they fail to capture the immediate and personal nature of Tiresias’s warning about familial loss that Creon will experience as a direct consequence of his pride and rejection of moral obligations.
