I believe it's B! Participle phrases typically take the sentence and add some sort of modifier. An example of this that I've found is "Removing his pants, Ron jumped into the water to save the child." Another one is "The art museum, destroyed by a hurricane, was never rebuilt." The modifier can be removed from the sentence and it would still make sense.

There isn't much of a conventional setting in this poem, unless you consider the vague concept of "apocalypse" or the "end of the world" to be a setting.
but, "fire and Ice" starts off with two images of the end of the world. In the first image, the world is a great bubbling mess of fire, lava, and explosions. cities are melting and trees are burning. In the second vision, the world is an ice cube/a ice sphere. a extremely large cloud looms above the earth, and temperatures are so low that life cannot survive.
from there we move to a discussion from the speaker- we now have the image of him "tasting" desire, like Eve biting into the fateful apple in the Garden of Eden. then he rewinds the end of the world somehow, as if this were a film.
In the second apocalypse, things run different. Ice carries the day, driven by the hatred of people.
The Black Tower is a poem that was written in a time when social life for African American people was extremely restrictive and this is reflected in several lines, and the meaning of this is that African American had to be in a lower level while white people kept on restricting them and how even among themselves there was a strong attitude of self-control and alienation from a lot of benefits and opportunities.
