Answer:

D. Unsignificantly / off the coast / there was / a splash quite unnoticed.

Explanation:

Brueghel's painting of the "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" shows the mythological Icarus falling into the sea unnoticed and ignored by the people around him. They were instead focused on their own lives, doing and going about their own matters.

But supposing the painting has a crowd of people watching Icarus drown, then the lines in the poem where the narrator had mentioned that

"Unsignificantly / off the coast / there was / a splash quite unnoticed"

would be changed/deleted for now, in the 'new' painting, everyone will be looking at him drown.
