Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the D) It addresses a traditional subject with a nontraditional structure.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is an excerpt from "Love Song," a poem by William Carlos Williams (1883–1963), one of the main poets of the Imagist movement. It illustrates Modernist ideals by addressing the traditional subject of love in a nontraditional sense, using a new form of expression that requires the reader to be engaged and to play an active role in the interpretation of the text. The poem is short and it features free verse and a wealth of visual images. The speaker seems to be describing what he or she sees (a yellow stain that permeates everything, and which could be interpreted as the arrival of a new season) while lying down and thinking of his or her beloved one, who seems to be far away, "under the wine-red selvage of the west!"
