Final answer:

The poem is 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard' and the line refers to 'grave,' which isn't listed among the options. The closest option to the original meaning is 'Death.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem quoted in the question is "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray. The correct line from the poem is, "The paths of glory lead but to the grave." However, none of the options given directly include the word 'grave.' Considering the meanings associated with the word and the theme often related to 'glory' in literature, the closest among the provided options is c) Death. This line means that no matter one's achievements or fame, everyone eventually faces mortality.
