Read these lines from "Ozymandias." And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

C "It suggests that the sculptor felt contempt for Ozymandias."

Explanation:

Ozymandias was a cruel ruler so it would take out D "It shows that the sculptor highly respected Ozymandias." as an answer. Mock means "tease or laugh at in a scornful or contemptuous manner." so that would take out B "It demonstrates that the sculptor was a relative of Ozymandias." and A "It indicates that the sculptor was afraid of Ozymandias." as an answer. Contempt means the act of despising which goes perfectly as the answer.

the answer is b) ''i hereby express my profound remorse together with my sincere mourning ''.

the reason being that although all of the options provided are valid the main idea of the speech by prime minister junichiro koizumi is to express his and japan's current antiwar pledge.
