    The correct answer is A) a person's face.

    The definition of the word visage that best fits the context of the above sentence is a person's face.

    Visage is a French word that means face.

    We are referring to a part of the short story called "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment," written by American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1837. In the story, Dr. Heidegger invites four friends to participate in a mysterious experiment. He possesses sparkling water for the Fountain of the Youth. It is miracle water that makes things younger.
