Brief Explanations

In "Sonnet 30", the phrase "drown an eye" is a figurative expression. To "drown an eye" means to shed tears, i.e., to cry. The other options are incorrect: "He cannot see" is not related to the phrase's meaning, "He cannot swim" misinterprets the figurative use of "drown", and "He can forget" does not align with the context of the phrase which is about emotional expression through tears.

Answer:

B. He can cry.
