Answer:

Sycorax is the name of the witch that imprisoned Ariel.

(Option C)

Explanation:

Her mention is found in Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest.” In the play, she is described as an ancient, evil and powerful witch who for practising sorcery was banished to this island. She was believed to be brought to this island by sailors when she was pregnant with her beast-like son, Caliban. Using her powers, she hegemonized the spirits there and for disobeying her she imprisoned Ariel in a pine tree.
