The speaker says that the cage-bird flutters its sorrowful wings. The wings are being described as 'sorrowful' because
Answer: B
The wings are called sorrowful because the bird is sad as it is caged.
The speaker compares the pretty bird in the gilded cage with a free bird, and says of the caged one 'Your poor bit thing behind its bars is only half alive!' The sorrow belongs to the bird, which is shut in, and the wings that flutter inside the cage show it.
Nothing in the poem says the wings are broken or that the bird is hungry. The statement that a cage-bird cannot sing as the speaker's bird does is a separate point about the lost song, and not the reason for the word 'sorrowful'.
