Answer:

C. She loves Romeo even though he is a Montague

Step-by-step explanation:

Compares rose smell to Montague name. Means: name doesn't matter- Romeo is still sweet.Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family's rival house of Montague. The reference is used to state that the names of things do not affect what they really are.
