Explanation:

The poem's opening lines state the speaker stops to watch the woods fill up with snow, and the owner lives in the village (so the owner won't see this). Option A is wrong because the speaker isn't looking for the owner; Option B is wrong because the stop is in the woods, not the village; Option D is wrong as there's no indication the speaker is lost.

Answer:

C. stops to observe the snowfall in the woods.
