The Greek myth is used as an example to overcome the limitations of human beings.

Transcend is the right word.

The ancient Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus cautions the modern man about the perils of using human craft to (i) ______ human limitations.

Is it possible to answer this without knowledge of Greek Mythology?

"cautions the modern man about the perils of using human craft to (i) ______ human limitations"

Since human beings like to exceed themselves or overcome their limitations, transcend is the best choice from the word list.
