1-c or d

I don't think either c or d is correct. You're looking for the meaning of this metaphor.

Yes, b is the best answer.

doesnt c give a meaning to rather than d

The metaphor "Her gaze was a laser to his heart" means that the grandmother's stare had a strong and powerful impact on him, similar to how a laser beam can be intense and penetrating. In this case, options c and d are the most plausible interpretations.

Option c suggests that the grandmother's look gave him a heartburn, which is an idiom used to describe a burning sensation in the chest. This interpretation implies that the grandmother's gaze made him feel uncomfortable or uneasy.

Option d suggests that the grandmother stared directly at his chest. This interpretation implies that the grandmother's focus was on his heart, possibly indicating scrutiny or judgment.

Both interpretations convey a sense of discomfort or emotional intensity caused by the grandmother's gaze, so it is difficult to determine which is more accurate without additional context from the text.
