Solution
The correct option is C Gently taunting
Option C is the correct answer. The poet is constantly drawing the comparisons of death existing in the mortal body. So he retorts that even though death is inevitable, the physical self doesn't feel its wrath, it isn't stung by it, thus taunting the very concept of painful death, where death is unable to leave a mark. The statements of options A,B,D and E do not completely convey the tone of the poem and, thus, are incorrect.
