E. The phrase “sneer of cold command” reflects Shelley’s idea that a king may harm his subjects.

Explanation:

Lines 10-11, "'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:  / Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' ", there are no terms, in the poem, to make the tone feel fearful about the king.

Line 4, "Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, " the poem does not set whether the king is attractive.

Line 1 and 14, "I met a traveller from an antique land... The lone and level sands stretch far away."  These do not show a desire to be away.

Line 8, "The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: " the hand was the sculpture's hand and the poem doesn't state whether or not the kind mistreated the artist by having him build a huge statue of himself.

Line 5, "And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, " shows that the sculpture didn't favor the king making him look older and less desirable as if he is to harm his people.
