The correct answer is letter C. Both Shakespeare and Shwayze describe a lady in a natural light as the object of their poetry.

Shakespeare describes his mistress in a very realistic way which borders into parody e.g. "And in some perfumes is there more delight. Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks ". Still, however, he affirms his love as he considers it rare.

Schwayze describes his platonic love's kiss, lips, and nose as "perfect" for him. Even though they "have been playing musical chairs for years" he is confident enough in his love to admit "I love everything" as he wonders "do you think that we could ever be one instead of two?" .
