It's not D. because when you look at the line in context, it seems to be the opposite of that. Whitman speaks of all of the things children see and experience, and how all of those things become a part of who they are. The whole idea of the poem is that children and their identities are shaped by the world around them. They take everything in.
The best possible answer would be B.
