- C.

A. Beatty had sent it as a warning because he knew Montag had some books

Explanation
Beatty sent the hound as a warning because he was aware that Montag had books.

The hound, being a mechanical creature programmed to hunt down and destroy illegal books, serves as a symbol of the government's control and surveillance over its citizens. Therefore, Beatty's decision to send the hound to Montag's place reinforces the theme of censorship and the suppression of knowledge in the dystopian society depicted in the book.
