To find the answer to this question, we can use information from Greek mythology. King Eury is not a familiar character in relation to the story of Hercules (also known as Heracles). However, in Greek mythology, one of the Twelve Labors of Hercules was indeed to retrieve the Girdle (or Belt) of Hippolyta.
Hippolyta was the queen of the Amazons, a tribe of warrior women. The girdle was a symbol of her authority and power. The reason King Eury sent Hercules to obtain this girdle can be found in the mythology surrounding the Twelve Labors.
According to the myth, Hercules was tasked with completing twelve labors as a form of penance for killing his wife and children in a fit of madness, caused by the goddess Hera. It is believed that Hera, who was an enemy of Hercules, instigated King Eury to send him on this quest as one of the tasks.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. His daughter Hera wanted it.
