Answer:
A goddess is trapped in the tree
Explanation:
Blood is seen where Dryope cut the flowers because the tree is the tree where a goddess was trapped.
From Dryope by Thomas Bulfinch, Dryope and Iole walked along a bank of stream. Dryope nursed her baby as she walked. Then she picked a flower from a tree to give to her child. They noticed that blood gushed from the place that Dryope cut the flower.
They were later informed that the plant is "nymph Lotis, who, running from a base pursuer, had been changed into this form."
The nymp Lotis is the goddess that was trapped in the tree. Therefore, the above option is correct.
