Solution

The correct option is D luminosity
"Ye living lamps, by whose dear light/ The nightingale does sit so late" - we can conclude from this line that the poet is referring to glowworms. Thus, the poet first addresses the glowworms by "lamps" which draws attention to their luminosity. So, option C is the best answer.
