Sonnet: To liberty (1796) Oh! Liberty! transcendent and sublime!

Born on the mountain's solitary crest;

Nature thy nurse, thy fire unconquered Time,

Truth, the pure inmate of thy glowing breast!

Oft dost thou wander by the billowy deep,

Scattering the sands that bind the level shore,

Or, towering, brave the desolating roar

That bids the tyrant tempest lash the steep!

'Tis thine, when sanguinary demons lour,

Amidst the thickening hosts to force thy way;

How is Liberty portrayed in lines 5 through 8 of the poem?
A.
as a destructive force that scatters sand and causes chaos

B.
as a harmful force that causes waves and affects the weather

C.
as a person courageous enough to stay on the shore during a violent storm

D.
as a person powerful enough to face the violent storm of tyranny and devastation
