Explanation:

Alfred Tennyson in his poem 'In Memoriam A.H.H.' reflects the crunch of 'faith rocked society' through mourning. The speaker of his poem displays sorrow and gloom first after the death of Hallam, his friend, and anguish as he feels low after losing his friend. However, this is followed by a restatement of his religious faith by stating his hope that despite his friend lost his physical body but he still has the opportunity to reunite with his soul. He wants that whenever he reassociates with him, Hallam can recall all the memories they shared together on Earth and stay together till eternity. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
