✓ Correct answer: a)

My Grandmother's House

Explanation

This line appears in the poem 'My Grandmother's House' by Kamala Das.

The phrase 'blind eyes of windows' is a powerful image (metaphor). Since no one lives there anymore, the windows are dark and dusty, looking like 'blind eyes' that cannot see. The poet says she often thinks of going back to that house just to look through those windows and listen to the 'frozen air' (silence) of her past.
