Answer 1

this is the whole poem
Oh! that my young life were a lasting dream!
My spirit not awakening, till the beam
Of an Eternity should bring the morrow.
Yes! tho' that long dream were of hopeless sorrow,
'Twere better than the cold reality
Of waking life, to him whose heart must be,

Answer 3

and enjambment is: "the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, couplet, or stanza" [google]

So it seems both A.) and C.) are out of the list
and since B.) has a comma in the middle of the first line, I'm assuming it's wrong
So D.) Seems like the best option here

Good Luck - Hope I'm right *^-^
