What prominent figure in Paradise Lost opposed Satan?

Jesus
Beelzebub
Adam
God

The correct answer is: God

God is the correct choice because in John Milton's Paradise Lost, God is portrayed as the all-powerful and just ruler of heaven who opposes Satan, the rebellious fallen angel. Jesus, although a prominent figure in Christian theology, is not a character in Paradise Lost. Beelzebub is a secondary character who aligns himself with Satan, and Adam is not a prominent enough figure to be considered a "prominent figure" in opposition to Satan.
