The literal meaning of "stalks" is the following one:

Moves in an arrogant and menacing way.

It is clear in the poem that the bird is angry due to being locked up in a cage. The figurative expression "bars of rage" shows the reader that. Therefore, when it is said that the bird "stalks down his narrow cage", it means the animal moves in a stiff, haughty manner, as well as threatening.

Answer:

A. The plot must divert from the original components of a myth yet maintain a focus on its outcome.

Explanation:

I believe this is the best answer choice (though I may be wrong), since we can automatically eliminate answers, "C," and "D," since they don't really make much sense. The answer wouldn't be "B," since Aristotle doesn't necessarily say to have multiple surprises.
