Explanation:

The question refers to the myth of Narcissus, where the character leans over water and sees his own reflection, which he mistakes for another being. The phrase "a gorgeous creature reflected back at him" directly refers to his own mirrored image, as crystal clear water acts as a reflective surface. The other options do not align with the core of the Narcissus myth.

Answer:

Narcissus is admiring his own image.
