Analysis:
The statement suggests that modern man influences his destiny through the choices he makes, implying that there is a greater sense of agency and influence over one's destiny compared to the past.
Now, let's evaluate the conclusions:
Conclusion I: Earlier there were fewer options available to men. This conclusion logically follows from the given statement. If modern man influences his destiny through choices, it implies that there are more options available to him than there were in the past. Therefore, this conclusion logically follows from the information provided.
Conclusion II: There was no desire in the past to influence destiny. This conclusion cannot be logically inferred from the given statement. The statement does not provide information about the past desires or motivations of individuals. It only contrasts the influence of choices on destiny between modern times and the past.
In conclusion, Conclusion I logically follows from the given statement, while Conclusion II does not.

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.

Can someone please explain me how A is the answer?
