The answer to your fabulous question is a or 1

The correct answer: 1. to bury a bone.

Explanation: In “Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave?” by Thomas Hardy, the narrator is a dead woman speaking from her tomb, and she asks who is digging her grave. She finds out it is her dog that is digging and assumes that he is trying to reach her (Why flashed it not on me/  That one true heart was left behind!) but the dog explains that not only is he digging to bury his bone, he forgot it was her resting place.
