Correct Answer: based
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation : In this context, the sentence is referring to the relationship between Geoffrey's hero and a historical prototype. The word "based" is suitable here, as it indicates that Geoffrey's hero is derived from or constructed upon a historical prototype.
