What is the effect of enjambment in this excerpt from "Porphyria's Lover" by Robert Browning?

That moment she was mine, mine, fair,

Perfectly pure and good: I found

A thing to do, and all her hair

In one long yellow string I wound

Three times her little throat around,

And strangled her. No pain felt she;


It creates a sorrowful mood.




It conveys pain.




It enhances the shocking effect.




It introduces a pause.

The correct answer would be that it creates a sorrowful mood. He sees her beauty and plays with her hair to find some sort of happiness before he puts the string around her neck and strangles her. Although he played with her, he was sad because he knew what was gonna happen next.
