The correct answer is A. Enjambment

Step-by-step explanation:

In poetry there are different devices used by poets to convey the main meaning or message n a poem, give o it rhythm or emphasize one element on it. In the case of enjambement, this poetic device consists of dividing a single idea or thought into different verses, which means at the end of a verse te syntax or idea has not been completed and this continues in a new verse, which is opposite to end-stopped lines in which the idea is complete at the end of the verse. Enjambment occurs in the poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams as the ideas are divided into different verses, for example, the ideas "A red wheel/ barrow" and the idea "Beside the white/ chickens" are divided into different verses and therefore the verse does not end with the idea which means the verses used enjambment. Thus, the poetic device this poem represents is Enjambment.
