HELP PLEASE

Read the following excerpt from "Theme for English B" by Langston Hughes before you choose your answer.

"Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.
I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
I like a pipe for a Christmas present,
or records—Bessie, bop, or Bach.
I guess being colored doesn't make me not like
the same things other folks like who are other races.
So will my page be colored that I write?"

In this excerpt, the author's tone is best described as

A. harsh and strident
B. informal and matter-of-fact
C. sentimental and mournful (THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER)
D. enthusiastic and optimistic
