Answer:

Option D. Antigone uses bridal imagery to speak of her imminent death as she grieves that she must "marry" death rather than Haemon.

Explanation:

Sophocles uses bridal imagery in Antigone's final speech to further illustrate the theme of doubleness in the play, and in life. when Antigone descends into the cave where she will die she expresses: "O tomb, vaulted bride-bed in eternal rock, soon i shall be with my own again". The scene implies that Antigone is going to be a bride indeed, but she will marry death instead of Haemon as it was planned.
