The answer is A, which is archaic language. Shelley was a romantic poet, and during the time he wrote the poem, the use of language back then to some extent is different from what is used in the present age.
“Bird, thou never wert...” is a variation of "bird, you never were". Some expressions used in the 17th and 18th century has become obsolete.

The correct answer is the option A - Archaic language.

Archaic language is one which uses word or phrases that are considered to be old-fashioned. It is a kind of an outdated language which finds use currently only in a few specialized contexts. They are usually found in the dictionary and are currently used to impart an old-fashioned flavor to the literary poems and historical novels.
