Thou a father's guilt dost bear.

Explanation:

This is the line that best expresses the idea that Antigone is helpless with regard to her fate and her family's past. In these lines, Antigone reflects on the difficulty of her situation. We learn how alone she is, and what a struggle it is to act according to the ideas that motivate her. No one pities her and no one is helping her. The Chorus explains this by referring to Antigone's boldness and rash decisions. However, it also argues that Antigone's burden is one that she has to carry because she is the daughter of her father, and she carries his guilt.

the line from the excerpt from Antigone that reflect her helplessness with regard to her fate and her family's past would be : 

Explanation:

O monstrous doom,

within a rock built prison sepulchered,

to fade and wither in a living tomb

and alien midst the living and the dead

The last line Thou a father's guild dost bear.

The right answer is 4) "Thou a father's guild dost bear."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that, in this line, the chorus is reminding Antigone that she went too far and was very daring, but, by doing so, she found the cornerstone of justice, and fell ("thou thy foot didst dash"). They conclude by saying that perhaps she is paying for his father's pain, which is the line that reflects her helplessness with regard to her fate and her family’s past. Antigone's father, Oedipus, had put a course on her two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, and, as a result of it, they were tragically destined to die in battle at each other's hands.

The line in this excerpt from Antigone that reflects Antigone's helplessness with regard to her fate and her family's past is

Explanation:

This is the line that suggests that Antigone's destiny is to some extent a consequence of her family's past. In this line, we learn that Antigone was unable to escape a destiny that had already been established for her. We learn that she "bears" the destiny of her father. This shows that, to some extent, Antigone's actions were not the only reasons why her fate was determined in such a tragic way.

I think that in these lines she admits her helplessness:

Alack, alack! Ye mock me. Is it meet Thus to insult me living, to my face?

In there she compares her with slave of destiny :

O monstrous doom,Within a rock-built prison sepulchered,To fade and wither in a living tomb


And there she represents how she belongs to her family  and can't confront the fate her family has builded for her: In thy boldness over-rashMadly thou thy foot didst dash'  Gainst high Justice' altar stair.Thou a father's guild dost bear.
