If you are asking about the meaning of the sentence:

You've got me head over heels! Another way of saying it would be:

I am completely and hopelessely in love with you.

That's why the correct answer is (c), as indicated.

What is the etymology of the expression "head over heels"? I am just curious how people popularized this expression.

Apparently, the phrase originated as 'heels over head', which is more logical, and was later turned upside down! Smile
