The right answer is B) heroic couplet.

This passage comes from the poetical works of Alexander's Pope An essay on Criticism. He is the greatest master of this kind of literary technique. Each heroic couplet consists of two rhymed lines of iambic pentameter(Consists of five pentameters repeated iambs an iamb is: A unit of two syllabi; First syllables is unstressed; Second syllable is stressed). Many of the couplets express a complete idea in a complete sentence, thus making the couplet closed.
