Answer:
The relevant answer to this query is an option (c)
(c) a piece of sand-worn blue glass
Explanation:
The fork was lying within the river, not over-excited, luckily and as she bent to select it up out of the water, she saw the blue bead lying there. Picking it up, she felt much joy and satisfaction. She rushed to her home. On the way, she met her mother who was coming to see for her. She told Sibia that she was worried about her because she (the mother) had reached home but she wasn't there. Sibia, rather than narrating her mother her heroic tale, showed her mother the blue bead and cried in the joy that she got a blue bead as a necklace. Indeed, Sibia was so happy that she didn't give importance to her encounter with the crocodile as it was related to her daily heroism.
