    The caged bird has had his hope destroyed.

    Option C.

    Explanation:

    The caged bird is a poem that has been written by Maya Angelou. The poem talks about the freedom of the bird being destroyed when the bird who was earlier free and was allowed to fly anywhere he wanted to, later got captured in a cage.

    The wings of the bird also got clipped when the bird was trapped in a cage and as a result of this, it could not fly with freedom where ever the bird wanted to fly.
