Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Sortha)

तुलसीदास कृत रामचरितमानस बालकाण्ड की इन पंक्तियों के विषम चरणों में 11 तथा सम चरणों में 13 मात्राएँ हैं, अतः यहाँ 'सोरठा' छन्द है।

In this couplet from Ramcharitmanas, the odd lines have 11 morae and the even lines have 13, illustrating Sortha metre.
