Which lines from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" are an allusion to these verses?
AThere will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands

Before the taking of a toast and tea.
DThere will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;

The Bible’s Ecclesiastes 3.1-4 and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

The lines from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" that are an allusion to these Bible verses are:

A. There will be time to murder and create,

And time for all the works and days of hands

Explanation:

The line "time to murder and create" is an indirect inference to Ecclesiastes 3:1-4. The poem titled "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" was written in 1910 by T.S. Eliot. It is modernist literary work which celebrated the diminishing power of traditional sources of authority, especially religion.  Most allusions are made based on shared knowledge and understanding between the reader and the author.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
