Answer:

D) a poem has stanzas while a story has paragraphs

Step-by-step explanation:

Neither a story or a poem has acts - only plays have acts. So each answer including "[blank] has acts..." can be ignored.

And as a writer of both stories and poetry myself, I can confirm that the blocks of text between line breaks in poems are called "stanzas", while that in stories are called "paragraphs".

I hope this helps
