A) its focus on life and death.

Explanation:

Metaphysical poems often present complex thoughts, a rigidity of expression and paradoxes. Even the imagery used in the poems can be quite out of place.

In the case of this particular poem, the speaker is using the death of flowers as fuel for his complex ideas concerning life and death. He analyzes how sweetly time has led those flowers to die and how, during the short period they were alive, they fulfilled a purpose. His reflections upon the subject lead him to conclude that he wishes to be like those flowers. Even if he doesn't get to live for long, he will be satisfied if he fulfills his potential in life. That complexity of thought and the manner in which it is expressed is an aspect of metaphysical poetry.
