Solution

The correct answer is B. Both apparently come to life, surprising other characters. This is because in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale," Hermione is falsely reported to be dead but later revealed to be alive, surprising the other characters. Similarly, in Ovid's story, Galatea is a statue that comes to life, surprising her creator, Pygmalion.
