Answer: A.

Explanation:

The author is trying to portray personifying crowbar and symbolizing usefulness.

B makes no sense because the question is asking you about how the poet is personifying the crowbar, not someone who beats things with a crowbar.

C also makes no sense because it's portraying not only destroying houses but also building them up again (another example of usefulness)

and D just makes no sense whatsoever because the passage isn't talking about worshiping altars.

In conclusion: The correct answer is A.
