A. It questions the existence of true love,

Step-by-step explanation:

Modernism was an artistic and cultural movement started in Europe, but spread to various parts of the world, influencing literature, painting, architecture, among others.

In the literature, among many characteristics, we can cite the influence on thoughts and opinions. Modernist literature provoked people's thoughts, making them question many things like love, peace and freedom. An example of this feature is in the poem shown in the question above, where the speaker questions the existence of true love.
