Answer:

C. Took on a certain form or attribute

Step-by-step explanation:

A public profile is not an idea or policy, so we can rule that one out and she is not receiving something either. That would leave the last two, but again, a public profile is not an idea, so it will be C. This is a new quaility that she will embody.
