I would contend that the right answer is the C) To describe the effects of a storm on a tree branch.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this brief poem by American poetess Hilda Doolittle (1886-1961), one of the leaders of the imagist movement, describes with great simplicity, visual clarity, and concision the effects of a storm on a tree branch. The speaker is addressing the storm as if it was a person ("You crash over the trees, you crack [...]"), or, in other words, she is personifying it. After cracking it, the branch turns white (the inside of it is revealed) and the leaf is crushed and rent like split wood. The water weighs, and this is a burden for the trees. After having been broken and hurled out, a leaf lands in the ground and it sinks, looking like a compact and solid green stone.        

the answer should be:
