Which of the following lines can be described as conveying the idea that childhood is fleeting? on the "first skating party" poem

A. Dozens of kids circle/the worn wooden floor/on old rental skates (lines 1-3)

B. the simple technique/of steering straight/into the cinder-block barrier (lines 8-10)

D. the ones they love/strobe past them/faster and faster/just beyond their reach (lines 24-27)
