The best answer would be:

a. her continuance in the play as a static character, as she had been passive and then gained attention with accusations, followed by her return to being passive.

This option reflects the idea that Mary Warren's character does not undergo significant change throughout the play, as she oscillates between being passive and gaining attention through accusations, while ultimately reverting back to passivity.
