The correct answer is A.

William Carlos Williams' poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" does not refer to the ship that can be seen in Brueghel's painting.

The poem alludes to the sea in wich Icarus drowns, the sun that melted his wings and the ploughing of the fields, but there's no allusion to the ship floating in the same sea that ended Icarus's life.
