Answer:

B. call and response

Step-by-step explanation:

Call and response are used in jazz music. This is phrasing and means a musical conversation between musicians. A musician or group of musicians can be answered by a response.

In this poem, the subject is describing his life, in what position is he now and what he wants to achieve. He responds to someone that he never owned a radio. These lines are written like a response to the question of his current situation and what is he wishing for.
