The only one that seems like a Resurrection symbol would be b) ~ does an Easter Lilly emerge from a shell buried in the earth????
OK I'm guessing b) instead ~
Yes, (b) It comes from a shell buried in the earth and emerges ~ Is Correct.

Lilium longiflorum is known as the Easter lily because in Christianity, it is a symbol of the resurrection of Christ, which is celebrated during Eastertide. The "lily has always been highly regarded in the Church", as Jesus Himself referenced the flower, saying "Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these" (Luke 12:27).
Moreover, according to pious legend, "after Jesus' death and resurrection, some of these beautiful flowers were found growing in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus went to pray the night before His crucifixion. Legend has it that these flowers sprung up where drops of Jesus' sweat fell as he prayed".
In many Christian denominations, the chancel of the church is adorned with the Easter lily during the Paschal season. A poem of the early 1900s titled Easter Lilies by S.R. Allen, delineates this custom:
Somewhere while the Easter lilies
Swing their perfumed censers white,
Softened rays of sunlight falling
In lines aslant, and warm, and bright,
Shall gild the altar, nave and chancel;
Rest with tender roseate ray
On the font, enwreathed with lilies
For baptismal rites today.
Another pilgrim on the journey
From the cradle to the tomb,
Shall receive a name and blessing
While the Easter lilies bloom.
— Mrs. S.R. Allen

Passover is coming up ~ this year it's a whole month from now starting on April 22nd because Jews use a different calendar. The last supper on Thursday before Good Friday was a Passover meal that Jesus shared with his disciples.
All the foods eaten at a Passover meal have special symbolism. There's a lot of ritual during the meal in the telling of the story of the Jews exodus from slavery in Egypt. Of all the Jewish holidays it's the one that I used to enjoy the most.
