It's C. timelessness. The nightingale is definitely a symbol of immortallity. Of course everybody dies but cycle goes on and on.

The correct answer is option c. "timelessness". The poem "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats uses powerful symbolism to express the meaning of its verses. The Nightingale song included in the poem, refers to the author's desire of immortality and the ability to escape from reality. These are elements of timelessness.
