The Lady of Shalott dies while - a. destroying her tapestry b. singing angry love songs about betrayal c. attempting to tell Sir Lancelot that she loves him d. floating down the river in a boat

The correct answer is d. floating down the river in a boat. The lady had left her tower and was headed to Camelot upon a boat. She writes her name on the boat before she passes away. The poem is not specific on how she died, only that she did pass while she was in the boat, on the water.
