C Correct answer
Explanation

In The Tempest, Caliban is the son of Sycorax, a witch from Algiers who was banished to the island and died before the play begins. Prospero mentions her in his dialogue. Miranda is Prospero's daughter, Iris is a spirit, and Ariel is Prospero's spirit servant - none of these are Caliban's mother.
