Which statement best describes the rhyme scheme in "A Psalm of Life"?

The poem uses alternating end rhymes: in the opening stanza, “numbers” rhymes with “slumbers,” while “dream” rhymes with “seem,” creating an ABAB pattern. The same alternating pattern continues through the stanzas (in the poem’s eight-line stanzas, it repeats as ABAB CDCD). So the best choice is that the poem follows a strict ABAB rhyme scheme throughout.
