Answer 1

C- I love you so much; you make the night seem bright.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speech given by Helena in the "Act 2 scene 1" of the midsummer’s nights dream means that she is in love and being with her beloved she does not feel the darkness and even the night seems bright. It does not make her feel the absence of light signifying brightness. She can spend the night with her beloved without feeling unsafe or insecure. She feels privileged to be with him and also admires his virtue.
