Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is easy.

Explanation : John. L. Mackie asserted in his argument of 'paradox of omnipotence' that in order for god to be omnipotent humans can't have free will. But in reality humans are free, which means God created things)/being he can't control himself which further contradicts with his own omnipotence. Thus the two claims of 'omnipotence' and 'humans are free' lead of Mackie 's' paradox of omnipotence which isn't presented in any of the options. Therefore the correct answer is 'none of the above'.
