The first line of a poem is typically referred to as part of the stanza, so the correct answer would be A) stanza. However, if you are specifically looking for a term that describes it as the opening line of the poem, "introductory line" might be considered, but it is not a formal poetic term. So, A is the most appropriate answer among the given options.
