    The answer is:

    D. strengthened, or reaffirmed, her religious faith. In the verses:

    "I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

    With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath",

    the speaker refers to a lost love she once had for the saints and that now, it has returned.

    Moreover:

    In the verses:

    "I love thee with the passion put to use

    In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith",

    the speaker compares a child's faith, which is pure and innocent, with her faith or religious life to emphasize how the love she feels now can change everything.

    Option A can not be correct since the poem implies that she had faith as a child. Option B is not correct because her love has not been challenged by faith. There is no evidence in the poem for Option C to be accurate.
