C. Reflective

Explanation:

A reflective mood is one that is characterized by deep thoughts. The poet in this stanza thinks deeply of the remaining number of years he has left to spend on earth. This is a sober thought because it makes one think back on the past years spent and how they were spent. It also brings the sudden realization that the person now has limited time and must make the best use of it.

Therefore, the tone created by the poet is a reflective one.

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
