BThey might become dry and lifeless.

Reasoning: It says it could DRY up like a raisin, a raisin is both lifeless and dried up.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. They might become dry and lifeless.

Explanation:

Hughes encourages the reader not to postpone your dreams because they might dry up like a raising in the sun. If you do not seize the moment and hit the iron while its hot, life circumstances might change and you will not be able to fulfill them.

The other answers are discarded because they do not mention the dryness Hughess reflects in the poem. A raisin in the sun does not blossom and it is not a fresh fruit.
