    C. The ease and peacefulness of the season.

    Explanation:

    John Keats' poem "To Autumn" is an ode that pays homage to the season of autumn. Personifying the season, he details the season from the late maturation of the crops till the harvesting season.

    Lines 19 to 22 of the poem goes like this -

    And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep

    Steady thy laden head across a brook;

    Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,

    Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

    These lines personified the season autumn as someone like a gleaner, who gleans the fields for the last piece of grain. Or as someone who is watching the pressing of the cider from the apple. These four lines seem to be a commemoration of the ease and peacefulness of the autumn season.
