Answer

Answer:

B. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things it craves outside the sill

Brief Explanations:

In The Caged Bird, the caged bird represents the oppressed. A fearful trill about things it craves (freedom) outside continues the metaphor. The free bird in A and C doesn't fit (free bird symbolizes the oppressor, shouldn't fear). D's "joyous song of captive life" contradicts the poem's theme (caged bird longs for freedom, not joy in captivity).
