This is a question about the following poetry. (Mending Wall by Frost) [Q] In this poem, Frost suggests that borders and boundaries can A.prevent us from building human relationships B. help us to establish stronger neighbourly ties C. cause savagery and hatred, even amongst neighbors. D. protect us from the effects of disorder ------------------------------- Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, No one has seen them made or heard them made, But at spring mending-time we find them there. I let my neighbour know beyond the hill; And on a day we meet to walk the line And set the wall between us once again. We keep the wall between us as we go. To each the boulders that have fallen to each. And some are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell to make them balance: "Stay where you are until our backs are turned!" We wear our fingers rough with handling them. Oh, just another kind of out-door game, One on a side. It comes to little more: There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours." Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head: "Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offence. Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down." I could say "Elves" to him, But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather He said it for himself. I see him there Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed. He moves in darkness as it seems to me, Not of woods only and the shade of trees. He will not go behind his father's saying, And he likes having thought of it so well He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours." ------------------------------- Thank you for reading till the end. I assume the answer is D, for the person didn't conclude having wall is good or bad. But I'm not sure. I'd appreciate it if you could help me. (2)

This is very hard to understand, even for a native English speaker. I think the answer is C because the narrator ponders about why he has a wall and the person on the other side, is very insistent on having it without much reason. They're very serious about repairing the wall. Plus, there are negative words like saveage-armed and darkness. By the way, I may be wrong but this is my best guess.
