by making additional comparisons between the mistress’s appearance and nature
C

D

Explanation

The second quatrain continues the poem’s comparisons between the mistress and nature, contrasting her cheeks with red-and-white roses, so B applies. It also describes her breath by comparing it with perfume, extending the description beyond her visible appearance, so C applies. The speaker is not changing an unfavorable description into a favorable one; he continues the poem’s candid comparisons.
