I have located the lines and options from another source and will paste them here.

LINES:
1. Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burned is Apollo's laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man.   
2. Swoll'n with cunning of a self-conceit, His waxen wings did mount above his reach, And melting heavens conspired his overthrow.  
3. Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!-- Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena. I will be Paris, and for love of thee,

OPTIONS:
A. Icarus and Daedalus (characters in Greek mythology who invented a way to fly) 
B. The Trojan War
C. A symbol of fame and reward, belonging to the god of divination

LINE #1:
This line points to (C) a symbol of fame and reward associated with the god of divination.

Apollo is the god connected with divination and is traditionally shown wearing a laurel wreath. That laurel represents victory and honor and was awarded to winners of athletic and poetic contests in ancient Greece. The word "laurel" appears explicitly in the line.

LINE #2
This second line alludes to (A) Icarus and Daedalus, figures from Greek myth linked to a failed attempt to fly.

The phrase "waxen wings" evokes the story of Daedalus and his son Icarus, who fashioned wings lined with wax to escape Crete; Icarus flew too near the sun, the wax melted, and he fell into the sea and drowned.

LINE #3
This line refers to (B) the Trojan War.

Helen and Paris are central to the Trojan War narrative: Paris's abduction (or elopement) of Helen, who was married to Menelaus of Sparta, sparked the Greeks' campaign against Troy. According to myth, Aphrodite persuaded Helen to go with Paris, enraging Menelaus and prompting the Greek forces to seek her return, leading to the decade-long conflict.
