Answer:

Based on your understanding of "Birthplace" by Tahereh Saffarzadeh, (A) The term enjambment refers to the continuation of verse from one line of a poem to the next without a syntactical interruption.

Explanation:

“Tahereh Saffarzadeh” is the author of “Birthplace”. He was born in “Iran”. The poem is about how his mother felt ashamed after giving birth to a girl. Because in his culture birth of a son is a matter of pride for the mother. The poem shoes anger and strong feelings of a woman who eventually is disappointed with the people who made her feel low for being a girl.

Enjambment” is the “continuation” of a sentence which doesn't have any pause at the end of a 'line', 'couplet', or 'stanza'.
