c. feeling lost and directionless

d. being safe and comforted

Explanation:

In "I Am Offering this Poem", the third stanza (e.g., lines about "warmth", "blanket", "fire") conveys a sense of safety and comfort. The imagery of a warm blanket, a fire, and a safe place contrasts with the negative emotions in other options. Tired/overwhelmed, cold/lonely, or lost/directionless don't match the stanza's comforting tone.

Answer:

D. Being safe and comforted
