Answer:
III. An innocent questioner and wise responder.
Explanation:
The "Ballad of Birmingham" is a ballad written by Dudley Randall. The ballad was written in a response to the Birmingham bombing of 1963 at the 16th street Baptist Church, Alabama.
The ballads are usually written in association to childhood and the innocence of childhood.
In the Ballad of Birmingham, Randall has used the convention of innocence of the child, who is a questioner and wise responder, the mother of the child.
In the ballad, the child asks her mother if she can participate in the March and her mother denies her to participate in the march describing the dangers of it and rather ask her to go to the church, where she will be safe. But as soon as the child leaves for the church an explosion is heard, in which the child loses her life.
So, the correct answer is the third option.
