Allusion is an indirect reference to something outside the text. Given that these lines are taken from the play Antigone, the author made an allusion to Niobe, who is not a character in the play, but rather an ancient Greek goddess.

Having that in mind, the line from the play that shows an example of an allusion is the second choice:

"But Niobe was a goddess, born divine-"
