Answer:

b. ABABCC

Explanation:

The stanza of the poem is the following:

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A Poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed--and gazed--but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

We can see that the words in bold rhyme in a certain pattern among themselves. The word "they" rhymes with the word "gay." This is going to be rhyme "A." The word "glee" rhymes with the word "company," which means this is rhyme "B." Finally, the two last words rhyme with each other: "thought" and "brought." This is rhyme "C," which means that the pattern can be expressed as "ABABCC."
