the ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won.
a. adjective | weather - beaten
b. verb | sealed something against rain
c. verb | endured
d. verb | enjoyed

Explanation:

In the sentence, "weather'd" is a verb meaning to survive or endure difficult conditions (here, "every rack" refers to severe storms/hardships). Option A uses "weather-beaten" as an adjective, which does not match the verb form. Option B refers to sealing against rain, which is a different meaning of "weather". Option D refers to enjoying, which is unrelated. Only Option C matches the meaning of enduring hardship.

Answer:

C. verb I endured
