Answer 2

The correct answer is A. terza rima.

Terza rima, which in Italian stands for 'third rhyme,' is a type of a lyrical stanza which consists of three lines, two of which rhyme - the first line, and the third line rhyme, whereas the second one does not. This type of stanza was first used by Dante Alighieri in his Divine Comedy (13th century). Here is an example of terza rima:

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita (a)

mi ritrovai per una selva oscura (b)

ché la diritta via era smarrita. (a)

As you can see, the first line (vita) and the third line (smarrita) rhyme.
