Solution
The correct answer is A. Both apparently come to life, surprising other characters. This is because in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale," Hermione is thought to be dead but then appears to come to life from a statue. Similarly, in Ovid's "Metamorphoses," Galatea is a statue that comes to life.
