From the statement it can be concluded that earlier, men did not influence their destiny by the choices they had made.
It is not mentioned whether there were few options available to them.
So, how A is the answer?
Answer should be D, since nothing about the desire in the past is mentioned.

I totaly go with option 'D'.
They have not mention anything like option in the statement. There may be other reasons also.

D is my choice, conclusion 1 is too specific and out of frame!

D is the only logical conclusion. Whoever made this is a *beep*. There's nothing inside the statement that in anyway could suggest people had less choices.

According to me D is the answer because nothing conclusion is mentioned in statement.

So I will go with option D.
So I will go with option D.

How is it possible that Conclusion 1 is the answer? Even though the assertion might be true on it own, it doesn't fit what we are trying to do here. D is the answer. A is completely made up, and WRONG!

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.
