The answer comes easy in the first couple of lines that are in the excerpt…

“The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind,
Nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined:
Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, [...]”

The words ‘savage,’ ‘nor tamed by manners,’ and ‘nor by laws confined’ all clearly prove that he does not follow rules or laws, and he is not civilized.

This proves that the correct answer is c ) The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.

It can be inferred that the cyclops have never been taught, so they don't have any manners and don't follow rules.
