In "I know why the caged bird sings," marguerite’s reaction to oppression differ from the reaction of the caged bird as she refuses to speak to anyone.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is a 1969 autobiography describing the young and early years of American writer and poet Maya Angelou.

The poem describes the contrasting experiences between two birds: one bird can live in nature as it pleases, while the other caged bird suffers in captivity. The other bird sings to cope with the circumstances and to express his own desire for freedom.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
