Yes, the correct answer is C. The lines are illustrate a TETRA (from greek - tetra, to mean 4). It could otherwise be called a QUADRAMETER (from latin - quad, to mean 4). It is also an Iambic/Iambus because of the delicate placement of unstressed syllables before the stressed syllables; thus, UNSTRESSED + STRESSED = IAMBIC. Note also that each line has the minimum/maximum of 8 syllables. Thus, each line would have 2 feet of an Iamb.
The correct answer is:
A. pentameter
The lines in the poem follow an iambic pentameter pattern, where each line contains five metrical feet (iambs), with each iamb consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This is a common meter in English poetry.
