Correct option is A

The correct option is (a) Dame of Margery. "Phyllyp Sparowe" is a Middle English poem, and the narrator is indeed the Dame of Margery, Margery Kempe. Margery Kempe was an English mystic and the author of the first known autobiography in English, titled "The Book of Margery Kempe." In "Phyllyp Sparowe," Margery Kempe laments the death of a pet sparrow named Phyllyp. The poem is a poignant expression of grief and reflects the medieval tradition of creating elegies for beloved animals. Margery Kempe, known for her mystical experiences and devout religious life, uses the death of the sparrow as a means to explore themes of mortality, compassion, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. The poem is notable for its emotional depth and the unique perspective it provides on Margery Kempe's spiritual and emotional life.
