Answer:

the right answer is the letter B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rich in symbolism, "The Divine Comedy" is perfectly adapted to Christianity and can be read by all those who want to read it. Some are content only with the casing of which the work is encased, others anticipate further, each according to their possibilities of drinking in the inexhaustible source of symbolism.

An example of the use of symbolism in this work is in the excerpt above where Dante shows a river of boiling blood full of people guilty of carnage, this boiling blood symbolizes the blood that these guilty people have taken from innocent victims of their violence.
