I would say that the line from the reading that best shows the Cyclops to be an antagonist is C: And I with my fighting heart, I thought at first/ to steal up to him [the Cyclops], draw the sharp sword at my hip / and stab his chest.

Explanation:

This line shows a character that opposes -or is hostile- to someone, or to a particular situation. We can notice, the speaker is an adversary, he has a "fighting heart", he wants to "steal up" the Cyclops and "stab his chest". All of these feelings or thoughts show the reader that the speaker is an antagonist.
