Explanation:

1. Analyze internal rhyme: Words like "stooping", "plucking", "sighing", "flying" (internal, within lines) and "hottest" & "parched" (no, wait, check lines. Wait, "among" and "along"? No, let's re - check. Wait, "stooping", "plucking", "sighing", "flying" have internal rhymes (similar vowel/consonant endings within lines). Also, slant rhyme: "hottest" and "parched"? No, wait "among" and "along" – slant rhyme (similar but not exact). Wait, the lines:

Line 1: "Angels when the sun is hottest"
Line 2: "May be seen the sands among,"
Line 3: "Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying,"
Line 4: "Parched the flowers they bear along."

Internal rhyme: In line 3, "stooping", "plucking", "sighing", "flying" (internal, within the line). Slant rhyme: "among" (line 2) and "along" (line 4) – slant (similar ending, not exact). Also, end rhyme? Wait, line 2 ends with "among", line 4 with "along" – slant, not exact end rhyme. Wait, option C says internal and slant. Let's check options:

Option A: only internal – no, there's slant. Option B: only slant – no, internal exists. Option C: internal and slant – yes, line 3 has internal, line 2 and 4 have slant. Option D: includes end rhyme, but there's no clear end rhyme (exact), so D is wrong. So the correct option is C.

Answer:

C. internal rhyme and slant rhyme
