The correct answer is:

B. mistaken identity

Step-by-step explanation:

Twelfth Night is a story about transgression. Shakespeare plays with the ideas of love, confused identity, and social class in this parody. The play really contains three plotlines that come usually in the final scene. The plotlines are held collectively by the character of Feste, the Fool, who can cross social boundaries because of his freedom from working, the right of an "entitled Fool.
