The correct answer is a. In the final couplet.

An English or Shakespearean sonnet usually presents a problem in the first octet (8 lines) and the solution is found in the next 6 lines with a turn in line 9, transitioning the problem to a solution, with the final couplet usually giving a conclusion to the story.
