A is the best answer. I am very familiar with Poe's work and its the best choice to use to make it look like you understand the material.
I believe it is prose D because the definition for probe is -written or spoken language in its ordinary form, without metrical structure.
Following the victory at Troy, he and his men sail to Ismarus, the stronghold of the Cicones. With apparent ease, they sack the city, kill the men, enslave the women, and enjoy a rich haul of plunder. Odysseus advises his men to leave immediately with their riches, but they ignore his warnings.
Hope this helps :)
