The correct answer is <u>C</u>: because the author feels that her future is hazy, uncertain, and slightly unreal.
Explanation:
In her poem, Marie Devers calls her destiny "that cloudy cool mirage" because she wants to express that she wasted most of her time thinking about life difficulties and problems that she may have.
She wants to say that she could not predict things, problems and obstacles that will happen to her until they became unavoidable. She uses this expression as a metaphor to explain how uncertain life can be.
