Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
This is Virginia Woolf's well-known statement (from *Three Guineas*), used rhetorically to say a woman's identity and allegiance are not confined by national borders — her sense of belonging is with women everywhere rather than with a nation-state. (A) and (B) take the sentence literally (legal statelessness), which is not the intended figurative sense; (D) is about legal rights, not identity/solidarity. (C) captures the figurative, cross-border-solidarity meaning intended. Answer: (C).
