Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A ballad is usually structured in quatrains (four line stanzas) with rhyming stanzas or four poetic lines. The rhythm of each line in a ballad are usually iambic that means they have one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Although some ballads may have chorus but that is only after they have been set into music.An example of a ballad is the "rime of the ancient mariner" by Samuel Taylor
