Answer:

c. Italian sonnet

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very specific kind of sonnet. It is strictly structured: an octave that rhymes in an specific pattern where the first, fourth, fifth and eighth lines rhyme with each other and the second, third, sixth and seventh rhyme with each other (making an "abba abba" pattern), and then you have a sestet rhyming in any pattern.
