Directions to Solve
Laws of nature are not commands but statements of acts. The use of the word "law" in this context is rather unfortunate. It would be better to speak of uniformities in nature.

On the contrary, we say that the law has been incorrectly started.

The correct answer is Option B.
The passage emphasizes that the term 'law' is misleading because it shows that laws are being created by lawgivers, but the author prefers to view this as a uniformities of nature.
However he also mentions that "it would be better to refer to uniformities of nature", but he is mainly unhappy with the word 'law' because it implies an agency which made them.
Option D is partially true because the term "law" may create false belief but he didn't state anywhere in the context as it leads us to the false belief but implies an agency,
Hence option B is the correct answer.
