The terza rima stanza is a rhyme scheme in which the stanza is composed by a interlocking three-line rhyme, something like aba, bcb, cdc, ded. It is typically written in iambic line or iambic pentameter, the first one to use it was the Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the late 13th century to structure his poem “The Divine Comedy”. The answer is A.
