Explanation:

Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate sounds. "Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle" imitates the sound of bells. "Time, time, time" can be seen as imitating a rhythmic sound related to keeping time. "Jingling", "tinkling", "rhyming", and "chiming" are also words that imitate the sounds associated with bells. So we identify the lines with these onomatopoeic words.

B. How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
