C. The monster is manufactured by a human being.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley, through her most famous novel, "Frankenstein", expressed her attitude towards the machines and the Industrial Revolution, making Frankenstein the metaphor for them.

In order to do so, she had to give Frankenstein similar features ti the ones of the machines.

Some of these features are that they are both comprised of many parts, both are powered by electricity and, as given here, both are manufactured by a human being.
