The correct answer is <em>"It demonstrates poetry’s ability to “arrest the vanishing apparitions” of life by preserving an image of a fleeting moment in time"</em>
The extract from Mutability describes how they feel and it compares to clouds. But especifically to night clouds. Owing to that, the narrator explains how they are and how they disappear when the night finishes, he highlights that unique moment in a nice way. It is presented as one of the prettiest things of the world and because it is written, makes it inmortal.

An appositive phrase renames the noun right next to it. In this case, the answer would be B, because the phrases 'triplet sisters,' and 'Laura, Lisa, and Lynn' are right next to each other without anything separating them.
'Lynn' isn't right next to 'triplet sisters,' so that wouldn't work, also the fact that 'Lynn' is only one of the sisters, so she can't represent all of them.
'All' and 'camp counselors' does represent the three, but they aren't side-by-side with the girls' names.
