Am I Right?

Question To what does the phrase "dread shape" refer?

My Answer The shape of the hoe that the man is leaning on.

Story Through this dread shape the suffering ages look;
Time's tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity betrayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited,
Cries protest to the Powers that made the world,
A protest that is also prophecy.

Choices
A.The man's hunched over position as he leans on his tool.

B.The shape of the hoe that the man is leaning on.

C.The shape of the man's future as an unfulfilled farmworker.
