9 now sam mcgee was from tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows.
10 why he left his home in the south to roam round the pole, god only knows.

abba

Explanation:

Rhyme scheme is determined by the end - sounds of lines. The end - sound of line 9 is "Tennessee" and "blows" in line 10 doesn't rhyme with it. The end - sound of line 9 rhymes with the end - sound of line 11 ("cold" and "gold"). The end - sound of line 10 ("knows") rhymes with the end - sound of line 12 ("hell"). So the rhyme scheme is ABAB.

Answer:

A. ABAB
