Answer:

The correct answer is "And when I'm formulated, sprawling on a pin, / When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall"

Step-by-step explanation:

On these lines, the speaker compares himself to an insect pinned to a wal while still alive. With this metaphor and vivid imagery he conveys a painful and unpleasent image of suffering through the torture of this insect to which he is being compared.
