A. The people of England.

Explanation:

Rudyard Kipling's poem "Recessional" is a form of prayer and request addressed to God and directed to the people of England. Kipling uses the 'recessional' form of Christian religious prayer form to talk of God's love and greatness, while at the same time asking for guidance and help.

Composed of five stanzas with sis lines each, the poem has alternate rhyming scheme (meaning the first and third line rhymes while the second and the fourth lines rhyme and so on). The poet pays reverence to the Lord of all, and also asks the spirit of God to look over them lest they forget the power of the Almighty God. Further asserting the presence of God in all the wars that the British had fought, he warns his countrymen not to forget the works and guidance of the Lord. Towards the end, he invokes on God to keep watch over them and that the men may never forget the hands of God, and also implores god t have mercy on them for the sins they committed.
