Read the excerpt from the odyssey.

neither reply nor pity came from him,
but in one stride he clutched at my companions
and caught two in his hands like squirming puppies
to beat their brains out, spattering the floor.
then he dismembered them and made his meal,
gaping and crunching like a mountain lion—
everything: innards, flesh, and marrow bones.

what can be inferred about the cyclops?

he has gone hungry for a very long time.
he is savage and brutal like a wild animal.
he is terrified of odysseus and his men.
he is very similar to his father, poseidon.

He is savage and brutal like a wild animal

Explanation: Though it might be the case that the Cyclops had gone hungry for a very long time,  that cannot be inferred from the excerpt. The crude violence of these verses makes it clear that, despite being somewhat human-like, the Cyclops was as savage and brutal as a wild animal (a mountain lion is the given example), eating people whole.

B-He is savage and brutal like a wild animal.
