C.history

I'm guessing that it is speaking literally of the history of France

A) These lines personify the "new colossus" and reveal the statue's purpose.

They personify the statue because statues are non-human things but it gives the statue the human ability of speech. In her dialogue, the statue also states her purpose. She calls to other countries asking them for the refugees and people they have turned away. She welcomes any and all immigrants in to America. The other options are simply incorrect because the statue is not meant to frighten anyone, instead it's a symbol of hope and welcoming. Option C is also a poor choice because she is not speaking words of gratitude towards the "new colossus". The lines also do not describe the beauty of the statue, so D is also incorrect.
