Answer:

(C) reflective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tone of the poem "The Bean Eaters" is reflective. The author tells us the story of an older couple. They are completely alone, in a rented room, and they have to eat beans every single day. The author implies that the couple struggles financially. The poem leads the reader to reflect on the lives of Americans who have been left behind by progress, and who live lives no one cares about, and no one will remember.
