The correct answer to what the poem includes that the artwork does not would be the second option, an allusion to conflict.

The lines from Robert Hayden’s poem "Monet’s Waterlilies" start telling of news that "poisons the air like fallout", conveying that the news mentioned pollute something that should be pure with radioactive particles, which creates an image of a heavy or conflicted side effects of a situation. The artwork, on the other hand, shows no sign of conflict, on the contrary, the image created is a peaceful scene of lilies in a lake or river, with blue and purple as predominant colors. So, the correct option to what the poem includes that the artwork doesn't is the second one, an allusion to conflict.

The correct answer couldn't be the first option, a sense of peace or comfort because the lines show signs of peace and comfort when the writer says "I come again to see the serene, great picture that I love", just like the artwork. Monet's work allows the observer to feel a sense of peace created by the flowers upon the water. Therefore, the correct answer to what the poem includes that the artwork doesn't couldn't be the first on, a sense of peace of comfort.

The correct option couldn't be the third one, a chaotic viewpoint because, although the artwork conveys a sense of peace, Monet was considered an Impressionist artist, so, his work must have been done according to the impressions caused by the light and not according to the objective reality. The loose brushstrokes painted by the artist create a movement effect and cause the painting to become blurry and the observer to see it from a chaotic viewpoint, instead of an objective one. Hence, the correct answer to what the poem includes that the artwork doesn't couldn't be the third option, a chaotic viewpoint.

The correct answer couldn't be the fourth one, a sense of movement or fluidity because this consists of another inherent characteristic of Impressionism. The loose brushstrokes give movement to the work, in this case, trying to capture the water's movements. The artwork has a very explicit sense of movement and fluidity. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be the fourth one, a sense of movement and fluidity.
