The extract is from William Shakespeare's The Tempest. The speaker is Ceres, a spirit and Roman goddess of agriculture.

• "Tell me, heavenly bow" → She is addressing Iris, another spirit, who serves the goddess Juno.
• "If Venus or her son" → Refers to Venus (goddess of love) and Cupid (her son).
• "Do now attend the queen?" → She is asking whether Venus and Cupid are present.
• "Since they did plot... my daughter got" → She is upset because Venus and Cupid helped Pluto (Dis) abduct Proserpina (her daughter).
• "Her and her blind boy’s scandalled company I have forsworn" → She has sworn off Venus and Cupid because of their past actions.

Since Ceres is a goddess (spirit), not a king, sailor, or mortal man, the correct answer is C. Spirit.
