The correct option is option (B) Madam is at the mercy of a rent man who does not care and takes advantage of her.
Explanation:
- The poet describes a situation in which a girl rents a room.
- Although the agent asks about the rent after greetings, the tenant expressly states that the property's poor condition no longer requires her to pay the rent.
- The sink is broken, the water isn't running, and what was promised hasn't been done, so she reasons that she would go to Hades before paying the rent.
- She also considers the kitchen, cellar, and attic difficulties, as well as the back window.
- He tries to negotiate with the girl about paying the rent, and they both decide that they will agree if she doesn't pay even though none of them is happy with this situation.
