A. a sonnet.
A poem that has 14 lines and a specific rhyme scheme is called a sonnet. Traditional sonnets follow specific rhyme schemes, with the two most well-known types being the Petrarchan (or Italian) sonnet and the Shakespearean (or English) sonnet. The Petrarchan sonnet typically has an octave (eight lines) followed by a sestet (six lines) with a specific rhyme scheme, while the Shakespearean sonnet consists of three quatrains (four-line stanzas) followed by a rhymed couplet (two-line stanza).
