Answer 1

I think it's D. she deferred to her son

Answer 2

I believe it is C.
If the definition of an allusion is: an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference then this is an allusion because it calls something to mind without mentioning it explicitly, this being “feet of clay”.
