(I’m stuck between A and C)

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Use of the lyric poetic form.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Use of the lyric poetic form

Explanation:

With the use of lyric poetry the poet speaks directly to the reader, representing his or her feelings, mood and perceptions. The poem functions as a photograph, recording emotions and feelings of the "lyrical self," that is, the voice that manifests itself in the poem. This voice can represent the "I" of the poet himself.
