Blank verse is always B. unrhymed.
Blank verse is written in iambic pentameters (which means it is regular, so C is incorrect). There is no rhyme whatsoever, so D is incorrect. A is incorrect because it doesn't have to be epic - it can be lyric as well.

Here is an example from Doctor Faustus:

You stars that reign'd at my nativity,
Whose influence hath allotted death and hell,
Now draw up Faustus like a foggy mist
Into the entrails of yon labouring clouds,
That when they vomit forth into the air,
My limbs may issue from their smoky mouths,
So that my soul may but ascend to Heaven.

Unrhymed

Further Explanation:

Black verse is a poetry which is written with regular metrical but with unrhymed lines and is always written in an iambic pentameter. Black verse is known to be the most influential and common form of English poetry which English poetry has acquired since the 16th century. And it is estimated that post 16tth century, almost about three-quarters of all the English poetry has been written in blank verse.

If we talk about Blank verse in the 20th century, then it has been varying degrees of regularity and is used frequently in original verse and translations. Christopher Marlowe was the first English author who achieved critical notoriety for his use of blank verse but the major achievement in Blank verse was made by William Shakespeare as many of his plays were written in iambic pentameter.

The harlem renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. although legally "free," many african americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries. identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the harlem renaissance. furthermore, the values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. as hughes expresses in "dream variations," all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. what role does freedom play in the poems you read in this unit? what is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity? write about at least three of the poems, describing how the poet uses imagery to depict freedom and identity, the lack of it, or the desire for it.
