First of all, it's really sad that we're teaching poetry with questions like this, because this question really sucks the life and beauty out of reading poetry.
A is your best answer. Obviously knowing the literal meaning of a word is an essential first step to understanding what's happening in a poem. It's hard to analyze a poem if you don't know what the words mean to begin with. Once you know those meanings, you can then move on to thinking about metaphorical or figurative (i.e., non-literal) meanings of the same word.
B is partially right, but it's not the best answer. Certainly knowing the literal meaning of a word CAN help you determine the narrator, but not all poems have narrators, and sometimes the literal meaning won't help you figure out who the narrator is (especially if the narrator is deliberately left unclear).
C and D are wrong, and as a general rule in multiple-choice questions you should be very suspicious of answer-choices that use extreme language (like "useless") or that completely shut down a possibility entirely (which happens in choice C).

Answer: D. Both A and C
Explanation: When you use someone's idea or quotes without giving proper credit, without acknowledging or citing the original author; that is plagiarism. If you want to evade any accusations of Plagiarism, you must properly give citations of any wordings or ideas that are not your own by putting them in quotations as well as writing the name of the author and date of publication.
Option A cited the author but did not put the statement in quotation which translates that those statements are his own ideas but the reverse the case, resulting to plagiarism
In option B, the author was properly cited and the statements were in quotation and that is not Plagiarism.
Option C neither cited nor put the statement in quotation which also resulted in Plagiarism.
So both A and C are plagiarism.
