The statement "The refrains emphasize the importance of resisting death" describes the effect of the refrains in this excerpt

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The line from poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas. Here, the son delivers the four different categories of men to his father. And, states to father that, plead for some time to mark something in his life. So, mention in a clear way, be furious and act against his dying. Also, not let simply gentle to the good night.

A refrain is something which re-emphasizes the importance of something. Here in Ozymandias although history talks about him being a very mighty king who owned a massive kingdom, time is a very powerful factor. Time can reinforce the inevitability of death. Death was inevitable for Ozymandias too, regardless of him stay as a very powerful king.
