Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

batter my heart, three-person’d god, for you as yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend; that i may rise, and stand, o’erthrow me, and bend your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new. ("holy sonnet xiv: batter my heart”; lines 1-4)

is a paradox that is represented in these lines.
a. christianity is a religion that recognizes only one god, yet the speaker refers to three gods
b. the speaker wishes to stand, but is too weak to do so on his own
c. the speaker sees his god as forgiving when, in fact, he is violent and cruel
d. the speaker implores god to use violence to break him so that he can be made new
