PLS HELP ME WITH THIS!!! :(

Read the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Which best describes the symbolic meaning of gold in the poem?

A) The difficult challenges in life we overcome
B) The earliest years in life which are magical
C) The wonderful things in life that do not last
D) The valuable items in life we try to acquire
