c) edna is starting to hear voices
d) the sea, being the origin of life, is the origin of all things and all ideas

Explanation:

The passage describes the sea's voice as inviting the soul to "lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation" and its touch as sensuous. This emphasizes the sea's nature as something that encourages introspection (inward - looking thought) and a realization (a sense of understanding or awareness) through its alluring qualities. There is no mention of Edna, swimming with Robert, Edna hearing voices in a pathological sense, or the sea as the origin of all things and ideas.

Answer:

A. the nature of the sea invites introspection and realization
