The quote is incomplete. It should read: "For language is arbitrarily produced by the imagination, and has relation to thoughts alone; but all other materials, instruments and conditions of art have relations among each other which limit and interpose between conception and expression. The former is as a mirror which reflects, the later as a cloud which enfeebles the light of which both are mediums of communication. Hence the fame of sculptors, painters and musicians...has never equaled that of poets..."
A Defence of Poetry- Percy Shelley
In my view the correct answer should be B: “and has relation to thoughts alone”.
The reason being that as Shelley explains later, he considers that language has a direct, unique and exclusive relation with thoughts. Logically, thoughts are a direct product of the imagination, whether they are spontaneous or a result of external stimuli, and if according to his logic language is intimately and exclusively related to them it follows that language comes from the imagination. For Shelley as a poet, because language comes directly from imagination without the mediation or interference of any kind, poetry is the purest form of art.

<span>The composition of the poem also can be only assumed in the
light of various facts present. One certain fact is that the composition took
place after the death of Hygelac which was in 521 AD. If we look at the assumed
date of the death of Beowulf it tells us that most likely the composition date
is after 580 AD as that is the assumed death date of Beowulf. The manuscript was written before 1000
AD so in between these periods was Beowulf composed.</span>
When we look at the cultural values and various contexts of the epic it tells us that Beowulf took place in the time of the Old English period or which is popularly known as Anglo-Saxon period.
