Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The statement "...he who touches the earth and it melts..." is a direct quote from Amos 9:5. In this passage, the Prophet Amos uses powerful imagery to describe the supreme authority and awesome power of God:

The verse explicitly names the subject as "The Lord GOD of hosts" (or "The Lord, the LORD Almighty" in some translations). The term "hosts" refers to God as the commander of heavenly armies.

The "melting" of the earth symbolises that creation itself cannot stand before God's presence or judgment. Even the firmest ground is described as liquefying or quaking at His mere touch.

Amos uses this description to remind the Israelites that no one can hide or escape from God's judgment, as He has complete control over the entire universe.
