How strange and awful it seemed to stand naked under the sky! how delicious! She felt like some new-born creature, opening its eyes in a familiar world that it had never known. Which best describes the thematic significance of the excerpt?

The clothes represent Edna's love for Robert; she discards them along with her lover.

Nature is calling Edna into the sea; therefore, she must discard all human-made confinements.

Edna is returning back to a stage of infancy; she is naked and innocent as a newborn.
