Final answer:

In Edmond Rostand's play, Roxane deceives Count de Guiche by feigning attraction to delay Christian's deployment to war. Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. In order to delay Count de Guiche and prevent him from sending Christian to the battlefield, Roxane employs her wit and uses deception.

She plays a trick on the Count by feigning that she is deeply attracted to him and that the interest is due to his powerful status and the possibility of him becoming a cardinal.

This flattery distracts and preoccupies the Count, ultimately leading to the postponement of Christian's deployment to war, thereby allowing Roxane more time with Christian. Option A.
