The correct answer is A.

In Soyinka's poem, the speaker feels risignation while talking to his potential landlady.

When he warns her that he is African, she starts asking "how dark" he was. Resignated, the speaker tell her that he was "West African sepia," but that the palms of his hands and feet were white. Finally, when he feels like she is about to hang up the phone, he resigns himself to going to see if his colour was acceptable for the landlady.
