A Correct answer
Explanation

Apotheosis means the perfect example or highest form of something. Seeing someone as the 'epitome' of motherhood means they represent the ultimate ideal. While related to gods, 'deity' is too literal; 'synonym' and 'follower' don't capture the sense of highest embodiment.
