Answer: B. He praises the advantages of being frozen in time

Explanation:

Let's look at each line to interpret their meanings:

"Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed" - the author is expressing joy for the branches of the trees that don't shed its leaves

"nor ever bid the Spring adieu" - the author writes, in this line, about the colorful leaves, and how they remain colorful as if it was always springtime
