Purple host could be ambiguous, or not clear, because of the figure of speech and the double meanings. Purple host could be taken literally as a host with a skin pallor of purple. But it could also mean that the host is feeling proud, hence they use the color purple as symbolism. Also, it could mean one way or another. Hence, the answer is letter C.
