Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Refrain is a poetic device in which the poet repeats some words or lines at the end of a stanza. This tradition has remained from the past when poems were mostly recited not written, and refrains made a poem easier for listeners to remember. Another purpose is to create a rhythm and make readers or listeners pay attention to the main theme or point of a poem.
