The poem you are describing, consisting of 14 lines with a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, is most likely a Shakespearean sonnet. However, none of the responses you provided correspond to this poetic structure.
If I had to choose from your options, none are correct, but if I had to classify it under one of the choices given, it does resemble the structure of a ballad (although traditionally, ballads have a different rhyme scheme and meter).
