Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the poem. The line "The courage that my mother had" and later "That courage like a rock, which she...", so the subject with courage like a rock is the author's mother. Checking the options: "New England quarry" is about the rock's origin, "the granite hill" is where the rock is, "brooch" is a physical item left, but the courage (like a rock) is the mother's. So the correct option is the one related to the mother.

Answer:

author's mother
