Answer 2

The correct answer is D. "I am Lazarus, come from dead..."

An allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referenced covertly or indirectly. The audience has to make direct connections which are directly and explicitly stated by the author. It is instead usually termed a reference.
