Answer:

B. True love involves much more than just physical attraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Twelfth Night mocks the primary characters' sentimental thoughts regarding love through the ventures of the hirelings. Malvolio's harebrained conduct, which he accepts will win Olivia's heart, serves to underline Orsino's own just somewhat less senseless sentimental thoughts. In the interim, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Sir Toby Belch, and Maria are continually breaking rough ironic statements that clarify that while the nobles may gush elegant verse about sentimental love, that affection is in any event somewhat persuaded by want and sex. Shakespeare further ridicules sentimental love by demonstrating how the the devotion that connects siblings (Viola and Sebastian) and workers to experts (Antonio to Sebastian and Maria to Olivia) really prove more constant than any of the romantic bonds in the play.
