Explanation:

Ezra Pound was a key figure in the poetic revolution. He rejected traditional poetic guidelines. This rejection allowed for new forms and expressions in poetry. Innovative verse (A) is more about the result of the revolution rather than the cause. Using ornamental language (C) is more in line with traditional poetry which he was against. Ignoring other poets (D) is not a valid reason for the poetic revolution. Rejecting poetic guidelines (B) was a significant step in bringing about the change.

Answer:

B. Because of his rejection of poetic guidelines
