The best choice is: "Determining the speaker's attitude toward the topic of a sonnet is essential to an accurate interpretation."
Why: tone expresses the speaker’s attitude (mood, stance, irony, shifts), and understanding that attitude helps you read the sonnet’s meaning, themes, and any subtleties. Tone is about the speaker in the poem, not automatically the poet, and is different from formal features like rhyme or meter or from the personal emotional response of the reader.
