The right answer is the D: Three quatrains and a couplet. This is an example of a sonnet. It features, on the one hand, three quatrains, or four-line stanzas rhyming ABBA. This type of rhyme is called envelope or enclosed:

Whoso..... HIND (A)

But.... MORE (B)

The vain... SORE (B)

I am... BEHIND (A)

On the other hand, it features a couplet, which is a pair of successive rhyming lines:

"Noli... AM (C)

And... TAME (C)
