For More Understanding
Explanation
Option B is correct because when the poet sends his eyes into the blue of the distant sky, he feels his mother's gaze spreading all over it. This suggests that the vast, still sky acts as a symbolic extension of his mother's comforting and watchful presence, rather than her gaze being physically present or the sky merely mirroring her emotions.
