Verified Answer :

The correct answer is enjambment.

Enjambment refers to the continuation of a sentence. it doesn't use punctuation and it doesn't have a pause beyond the end of a line or stanza. so this excerpt from the poem "The Day Is Done"The day is done, and the darkness 
Falls from the wings of Night, 
As a feather is wafted downward 
From an eagle in his flight uses enjambment.
