Explanation:

In Greek mythology, Pandora opening her box released all the evils (hardships) into the world. A political cartoon using Pandora's image likely alludes to this myth, meaning someone opened an issue that brings hardship to many. The other options: Pandora's myth isn't about vengeance on people in stands, she didn't bring fire (Prometheus did), and she didn't put out fire.

Answer:

B. Someone has opened up an issue that will bring hardship to many.
