D) It focuses on the discovery of the true self.

Explanation:

These are the two characteristics that make the poem "Aunt Imogen" a modernist poem. "Aunt Imogen" describes the feelings of frustration and isolation that an unmarried woman has when she visits her sister. Aunt Imogen knows that she will never be married, and that she will never have children, and this fills her with sadness. She feels alienated from the world, as she is only a visitor in her sister's life. Moreover, Aunt Imogen discovers herself in the poem, as she comes to terms with the idea of never having a family. Both of these feelings are common topics of Modernist poems.
