D) "Some say that it’s abnormal; my affections are exclusive."

When looking for where a speaker addresses a possible objection from the readers, it's important to notice where the speaker distinguishes him/herself as different from the rest. This line includes opinions from others when it says "some say". This phrase lets the audience know that the speaker is not part of the group that believes it's abnormal. Then the poet goes on to say that his affections are exclusive. Exclusive meaning specific only to him.
