Answer

The correct answer is **C. mournful or sad to joyous**.The beginning of the sonnet focuses on the speaker's sadness and frustration, comparing unfavorably everything to the absent subject of his affection ("nothing like the sun"). He even uses the image of snow following roses, implying a chilling effect and loss of beauty. The tone is melancholic and longing.However, as the sonnet progresses, the speaker's mood shifts. He dwells on the beloved's positive attributes: her voice, her beauty (lips, cheeks). He finds "delight" in her and declares his love. This marks a clear change to a joyful and affectionate tone.
