Answer 1

A poem's rhyme scheme is usually marked with letters - such as ABAB.

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhyme Schemes are the patterns of sounds that are repeated at the end of every line in the poem. For example:

‘The sun was glowing,

The stars were sparkling,

The waves were flowing,

And the forests were darkling.’

Here you can see the first and the third line makes a rhyme scheme ‘glowing-flowing’, and the second and fourth makes another rhyme scheme ‘sparkling-darkling.’

Such rhyme scheme in poems are marked with letters ABCD. So for the given example the rhyme scheme is ABAB.
