A Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'walk on eggshells' is an idiom that means to be extremely careful and cautious in one's behavior or speech, especially to avoid upsetting or offending someone who is sensitive. This perfectly matches the context of dealing with a sensitive mother where you must be careful not to hurt her feelings. The other options (rope, sea, waves) are not idiomatic expressions in English and don't convey the meaning of being cautious.
