The gaps in the wall are made by :

  • A.rabbits
  • B.dogs
  • C.hunters
  • D.nature

Answer: C

The gaps in the wall are made by hunters.

The poem opens 'The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair where they have left not one stone on a stone, but they would have the rabbit out of hiding, to please the yelping dogs.' The hunters pull stones down in search of rabbits, and the speaker repairs what they leave.

Rabbits and dogs are what the hunters are after and what they please, not the ones who break the wall. The poem says that no one sees the gaps being made, but the first lines name the hunters as the cause; nature is not given as a cause.
