I believe the answer is A, Both poems explore the idea of pursuing new experiences.
The reason behind that, is simple. In the first poem, you can see that "The Lady of Shalott" had seen a boat, and went along the path which took her. In the second excerpt, there are interactions between the two, which lead them on a "broad steam".
