Answer:

It has endured battering by waves and wind.

Explanation:

The poem "Sea Rose" by Hilda Doolittle is a metaphorical description of women and society's 'limitations' on how they should behave. By taking the image of a sea rose in making the comparison, the speaker delves into how a woman who has her own personality and not fixed on the limitations set by society is more beautiful.

To the speaker, a sea rose is more beautiful for it has been "Stunted, with small leaf . . . flung on the sand . . . lifted in the crisp sand that drives in the wind". This 'harsh' environment makes it different from the normal rose but also makes it more attractive and beautiful.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
