It's definitely C - Enjambment because it shows the continuation of a thought.

Answer: C) Enjambment

Step-by-step explanation: There are no instances of metaphor or personification in this poem, and there are no end-stopped lines (i.e., lines which end when a sentences, phrase or clause ends); line breaks actually interrupt phrases (e.g., I have eaten / the plums), and this is called enjambment.
