Solution

The correct option is B
An example of a traditional figure

The correct answer for this would be option B, i.e., a traditional figure. The author uses Sandburg as an example, an established trope to describe his reverence for Hardy. Having epitomized the former, him being a figure of modernity is in vain. There is no indication of Sandburg having a poetic appearance, nor of his appeal to the young. Hence, options A,C and D are incorrect.
