The correct answer is C) Understatement.

At the beginning of the poem 'One Perfect Rose' is described as something nice, positive, a great gift to receive. By the end of the poem though - through an understatement - 'One Perfect Rose' is not enough anymore. It has become a disappointment and it not such a good gift anymore.
