Answer:

D. helps us see the scene as autumnal.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, the poet opens his poem with the line 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood'. It helps the readers to understand that the poet stands at a crossroad where two roads diverge to two different paths.
  • The poet illustrates the wood as 'yellow' to signify that the leaves of the trees are worn out and almost on the verge of falling down. It helps us to see the scene as autumnal.
