The correct answer is option three.

In the poem "The Tyger," by William Blake, the expression "What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?" makes reference to who created such a fearsome animal.

The speaker wonders what kind or essence of God has had the courage to create such a perfect and dreadful creature. He is curious to know whether it is God or Satan who could have formed such a beautiful animal, and at the same time so terrifying and capable of evil. Thus, he speculates whether God would be able to conceive a being that possesses extraordinary beauty as well as great capacity for brutality.
