Answer: a) The speaker declares that his beloved’s loveliness will live on forever through his poetry, unlike the short-lived summer season.
Explanation:
Everything will eventually die with time. Even the sun is not spared death with time. That is the function of time, to eventually kill everything and leave it in Death's shade.
This is what William Shakespeare speaks of in this poem. He infers that summer will fade with time and so will her beauty but that he has found a way to circumvent time by writing of her beauty in a poem. And for as long as people can read, her beauty will never be killed by time for it will last forever.

"Nature's first green is gold"
The first half of this line is a metaphor. It compares the beginning of spring and new life to the color gold. Gold is also symbolic of something that is good or valuable.
"her hardest hue to hold"
This half of the line is personification. Personification is giving nonhuman things humanlike traits. In this line it gives Nature, a nonhuman, the ability to hold, which is a human trait.
These lines are describing when things begin in Nature. Most often this occurs in Spring. The flowers begin to shoot up from the ground, and new animal babies are born. This is the time where everything is golden. Things are new, exciting, and innocent. Unfortunately, this doesn't last, which is why it's hard to hold. Things grow up and change. They gain more knowledge and lose their innocence they once had.
