How does nature differ in "Darkness" from its role in traditional Romanticism poems?

Nature is not mentioned in "Darkness"

Nature is given human characteristics in "Darkness" and it is not personified in other Romantic poems

Nature is helpful and lovely in "Darkness" but is usually destructive in traditional Romanticism poems

Nature is destructive in "Darkness" instead of nourishing as it is in traditional Romanticism poems

The correct answer here is D.
The Nature in classical romanticism poems is a force of good, respite,inspiration and tranquility. In Byron's Darkness it is clearly not. It is important to note that this poem was created after a catastrophic eruption of Mountain Tambora which severely affected and caused the abnormal weather across the globe. That is why the Nature as depicted here is different from the rest of the romanticism poems.
