Hi. I'm new to the forums and was inspired to get into them after being unsure on the intricacies of a specific feat from "Inner Sea Gods."

If an opponent within line of sight has damaged you within the last minute, you may study that opponent as a standard action. Thereafter, if you hit that opponent with a melee attack, you deal 1 point of bleed damage to that creature in addition to the normal damage dealt by your attack.
I know that bleed damage doesn't normally stack with itself and that it can be removed by with a single point of magical healing or a DC 15 Heal check; my question is "how long do my attacks apply an additional 1 bleed after I've studied my opponent?"
a.) For one single attack. If this is the case, it seems grossly inefficient from an action economy standpoint to forgo all attacks in one round in order to apply a single extra point of non-stacking damage in a subsequent turn. Though I will concede that the opponent's damage does not need to come from a melee attack.
b.) Forever onward. Calistrians never forget someone they've chosen to retribute.
c.) Until a minute passes after suffering the instigating damage.
d.) Something else?
