The correct option is (a) line 1. "Sonnet 31" was written by Sir Philip Sidney. In the first line of the sonnet Sidney makes reference to "Sad Steps" which is the title of a poem of Philip Larkin "Sad Steps" written in 1968 and published in 1974.

For Sidney moon seems to be taking "sad steps" across the sky, whereas Larking uses the expression "sad steps" to refer to the steps he takes back to bed after having urinated.
