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).

Edith Nesbit was late 1800s and early 1900s famous British author, best known for her children literature.
"Beautiful Stories From Shakespeare" is one such book. It consists of several most famous Shakespeare's works, written in an easily understood manner, for children to enjoy and meet with his work in their childhood.
Having in mind the purpose of this book, it's easy to see that it mostly relies on the summary of Shakespeare's dramas in order to introduce them to the young readers.
