The correct answer is the final couplet.

A Shakespearean sonnet consists of three quatrains (each quatrain has 4 lines) and a couplet (the last two lines). The main idea of the sonnet, and where it is dramatically stated or reversed happens in the final two lines, in the final couplet in each of Shakespeare's sonnets.
