In the case of conclusion, we have to stick with the statement only, so we take anything about past or future it going to be an assumption, so D is the right answer.

Option D is correct as there is not mentioned about past opportunities.

Can someone please explain me how A is the answer?

Is it like they talked about modern man so they assumed that they were not having much option for them in past?

Prachi said:   1 year ago
Options D is the right answer.

Alok said:   2 years ago

1 is exactly following the given statement.

Here it is mentioned "modern man" so in past man was not modern so man in past must have fewer option.

Kashif Firoze said:   4 years ago
D is the correct one.

BISWAJIT BABLU said:   5 years ago
The Answer will be D, because in the statement there has not been mentioned that in past time there were fewer options to set up destiny.
