The answer is C) The end of one line of poetry and the beginning of another

In poetry enjambment is incomplete syntax at the end of a line the meaning runs over or steps over from one poetic line to the next. Lines without enjambment are end-stopped. The origin of the word is credited to the French word enjamber which means straddle or encroach.
