Step-by-step explanation:

Part A of the question looks for an element that reflects a characteristic of Romanticism. The correct answer is a. the emphasis on the self's response to nature, as Romanticism often features a deep appreciation for and personal connection to the natural world, expressing the emotions it evokes.

Part B asks for a quotation from the poem that supports the answer to Part A. The most suitable quote is d. And then my heart with pleasure fills, / And dances with the daffodils (lines 23–24).

When analyzing the artistic and literary movement that glorified nature, common people, exotic places, and the historical past, the correct answer is a. romanticism.
