Solution
"One Art" is a poem by Elizabeth Bishop that uses a specific form known as a villanelle. A villanelle is a 19-line poetic form consisting of five tercets followed by a quatrain. The first and third lines of the opening tercet are repeated alternately in the following stanzas, and combined in the final couplet of the quatrain. This form inherently uses a combination of rhyme and repetition of whole words. Therefore, the correct answer is C. It uses a combination of rhyme and repetition of whole words.
