Answer:

The correct rhyme pattern is ABA BCB CDC DED EE.

This pattern is known as Alternating Rhyme.

Step-by-step explanation:

The identity of the sounds present within the verses of a poem can be organized in different ways. This process is called a combination of rhymes.

It is possible to notice that the rhyming combinations, that is to say, of rhymes are different between the poems. One of the forms of combinations is called Alternate Rhymes, this occurs when, on the one hand, the odd verses rhyme (the first with the third, etc.) and, on the other, the even verses (ABA).
