    D). The giant has a violent temper.

    Explanation:

    As per the question, option D i. e. 'the giant has a violent temper' displays the inference about the giant that is best supported by the given excerpt from the book 9 of 'The Odyssey'. This attitude of the giant is reflected through the use of words that have been employed by Homer to highlight his rage and temper like 'boil over', 'Ripping off the peak', 'heaved it so hard'. When Odysseus (the protagonist of the text) reaches the land of one-eyed cyclops, the author displays his violent and raging temper. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
