Answer:

C. It creates several images.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagism was an avant-garde aesthetic school dating from the second decade of the twentieth century, consisting of a new way of making poetry, with new sound rhythms, use of colloquial language, unconcern with the metric, free verses and the use of images. The purpose of this was to free poetry from the shadowiness of the rhetorical resources and the Victorian sentimentality that hung in the poetic productions. Also, use the imagery resource intensely as a way of emphasizing the meaning of the writings.

Marianne Moore's poem "The Jellyfish" creates various images and this makes this poem incorporate the rules of Imagism.
