The line that shows a different justification than the others is:
A: “Thy various works, imperial queen, we see,”
This line emphasizes the act of recognition or observation ("we see"), whereas the other lines focus more on the qualities and results of the works (brightness, beauty, order, and the power of the hand behind them).
