Answer Details
The conclusion that Achebe draws from the statement, ''....that no man however great was greater than his people; that no one ever won judgement against his clan'' is that the individual should submit his will to that of the clan. Achebe believed that the Igbo society, which is portrayed in his book, was a communal society where the individual's success and well-being were closely tied to that of the clan.

Therefore, the correct option is "the individual should submit his will to that of the clan."
