C
As Appu puts it, these are the origins of various eponymous choice epithets.
A – John Morton, of Morton’s Choice fame – a choice between two equally unpleasant alternatives. It is said to originate with the collecting of taxes by John Morton, then Archbishop of Canterbury in the late 15th century, who held that a man living modestly must be saving money and could therefore afford taxes, whereas if he was living extravagantly then he was obviously rich and could still afford them.
B – Thomas Hobson, of Hobson’s Choice fame – a choice in which only one option is offered. As a person may refuse to take that option, the choice is therefore between taking the option or not, ie “take it or leave it”. The phrase is said to originate with Thomas Hobson, a livery stable owner in Cambridge, England. To rotate the use of his horses, he offered customers the choice of either taking the horse in the stall nearest the door or taking none at all.
C – Meryl Streep as Zofia “Sophie” Zawistowski in Sophie’s Choice, a choice between two persons or things that will result in the death or destruction of the person or thing not chosen.
