Try replacing the word woman with any of those four words. Try to simplify the passage over all, and which ever one makes sense, is the right one. I'm assuming weakness is correct, because it says "therefore i forbid my tears" claiming they wont cry, and in this world, crying is a sign of weakness. But i would just get a few more opinions on it :)
C is the only one where you are 1) talking to someone you don't know and 2) talking ( or writing) to a famous person requires some respect and you can't quite do that I you are talking informally.
