a. internal rhyme
b. slant rhyme
c. internal rhyme and slant rhyme
d. internal rhyme, slant rhyme, and end rhyme

Explanation:

1. Analyze internal rhyme: Words within a line that rhyme, like "stooping", "plucking", "sighing", "flying" (internal rhyme as they are within the same line).
2. Analyze slant rhyme: Words with similar but not identical sounds, like "hottest" and "among" (not a perfect rhyme, slant), "along" and other words? Wait, also check the lines. 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."

Wait, internal rhyme: within a line, like "stooping", "plucking", "sighing", "flying" (all have -ing sound? Wait, no, "stooping" (oo-ping), "plucking" (uck-ing), "sighing" (igh-ing), "flying" (y-ing) – maybe slant internal? Wait, also, "hottest" and "among" – no, line 1 and 2: "hottest" (end of line 1) and "among" (end of line 2) – not a perfect rhyme (slant rhyme). Then line 3: internal rhymes (slant or exact? "stooping", "plucking", "sighing", "flying" – these have similar endings, maybe slant internal. Line 4: "bear" and "along"? No. Wait, the options: Option C is internal and slant rhyme. Let's check:

• Internal rhyme: within a line, like in line 3: "stooping, plucking, sighing, flying" – these have rhyming parts (even if slant) within the line.
• Slant rhyme: between lines or within? Slant rhyme is a near-rhyme. Also, between line 1 ("hottest") and line 2 ("among") – slant. Line 2 ("among") and line 4 ("along") – slant. Also, internal rhymes can be slant. So the lines have both internal rhyme (within line 3) and slant rhyme (between lines and within line 3 maybe). So option C: internal rhyme and slant rhyme.

Answer:

C. internal rhyme and slant rhyme
