Read the second stanza from "Mutability.”Or like forgotten lyres, whose dissonant strings Give various response to each varying blast, To whose frail frame no second motion brings One mood or modulation like the last.

The lyre’s strings produce different, dissonant responses to each changing blast, and its fragile frame cannot repeat the same sound. The comparison suggests that people, too, respond differently as their experiences and circumstances change. Choice B captures this idea; the stanza is about changing responses, not simply disagreement or creativity.
