Answer:

A. Repetition of the word "I"

Step-by-step explanation:

The repetition of the word helps in adding significance and stress to the word on the overall meaning of the sentence. It helps in adding tone in the sentence. In the given excerpt, Poe has used repetition to focus on the condition of the narrator to which he was going through. The lines had been said by the narrator immediately after he had engraved the eyes of his cat.
