Through the phrase 'as if bereav'd of light', the poet hints at-

'As if bereav'd of light' most plainly refers to the colour of the boy (C): his dark skin makes him look as if deprived of light. The speaker also contrasts himself with the English child who is 'White as an angel', which suggests that he thinks less of himself (A), and being bereaved suggests loss and a lack of hope (B). The key accepts all three readings.
This is an interpretive item. Read literally, the phrase speaks of colour alone, so an examinee choosing C has a fair case; the key counts the other readings as well.
