Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The octave is verse that contains 8 lines, "octave" comes from the latin "octava", and means 8 parts.

While there may be different rhyme schemes for the octave, the most used is

A B B A A B B A, so the right answer is the option C.

An example of the first half of an octave written in ABBA ABBA is the segment:

"‘Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame"

written by Emma Lazarus.
