Answer 2

Answer:

Option B-Humans are inherently evil and only do good deeds for their own  benefit.

Explanation:

In a superb essay titled ''Of the dignity or meanness of human nature,'' found in David Hume's selected essays, he considers the commonly held belief that selfishness is our basic condition:

"All is self-love. Your children are loved only because they are yours:

your friend for a like reason; and your country engages you only so far as it has a connection with yourself. Were the idea of self removed, nothing would affect you: you would be altogether inactive and insensible: or, if you ever give yourself any movement, it would only be far vanity, and a desire of fame and reputation to this same self".

But Hume then turns this master-myth around by saying that vanity is proof of virtue rather than vice - a natural expression of how highly we value the qualities that make a person lovable, admirable, and a worthy member of society.

Thus, the above shows that the answer is option B - humans are inherently evil and only do good deeds for their own benefit.
