What is the last sentence of the poem "If"?

• A. If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run, yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, and which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
• B. If you can fill the quiet moment with a hundred breaths, all will be well, my son.
• C. If you can stand up and take a bow when others fail you, you will be praised, my son.
• D. If you can dream and not make dreams your master, you will succeed, my son.

Answer: (A)

The last line of the poem is the promise that, after meeting all the tests and remaining true, you will become a man. The choice that ends with “you'll be a Man, my son!” matches that final line exactly. In Kipling's poem, the closing words are essentially: you’ll be a Man, my son, and thus you earn the Earth and everything in it. So this option is the best fit because it captures the poem’s concluding sense of maturity and reward. The other endings propose different conclusions and do not mirror the poem’s final line.
