The correct option is:
D) the writer wants human beings to be individuals and not to imitate others.
The writer means to say that each person is unique and needs to understand and appreciate that. Every individual has a set of principles that he believes in. Irrespective of how challenging the situations are, a person should be strong enough to stick to his or her principles and be himself or herself. Individuals should not try to imitate others only to fit in with the crowd. Nor should they feel the need to pretend to be what they are not. A pretentious person has double standards and often gets caught in his own contradictions. Honest individuals who have the courage to be true to themselves, are able to fight problems with an iron hand. Such people have an inner sense of belonging and understand what they are worth and have a positive self-esteem. They do not give in to peer pressure or do wrong just to prove their worth to others. Such people have a clear conscience, peace of mind and a strong character. This is why the author insists on people being themselves.
