Answer: B) Sonnet

An Italian sonnet, or Petrarchan sonnet, is a type of poem named after the famous Italian poet Petrarch. Although the sonnet was often employed by him, it was developed by other previous Renaissance poets. In this type of poem, the octave poses a problem, and the sestet solves it. Moreover, the break between the octave and the sestet is called the volta, or turn.
