In the given poem "The Tyger" by William Blake, the poet employs 'several questions(punctuation) to convert the poem into an inquiry about the mysterious tiger'.

Blake here, interrogates the character of the Almighty(God) and his creation as reflected hen he says 'Did He who made the lamb make thee? ' as both the 'Tyger'(symbolic of experience) and the 'lamb'(symbolizes innocence' are contrary to each other. He also questions the 'mystifying' tiger by asking the questions like 'Dare its deadly terrors clasp? ', 'what immortal hand Could frame thy fearful symmetry?'. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
