The correct answer should be:

A. <span>Tennyson's poem criticizes the officers who ordered the charge, while Southey's poem praises the generals who led the battle.</span>

Tennyson stressed out the mistake done by the officers for pursuing that battle disregarding the safety of the soldiers, All they did was order everyone to fight but with no other choice but to die. On the other hand, Southey emphasized the leadership of the officers in the war because they have attained the fruits of victory.
