1. Since, law giver's law & nature's fact both can be rigid & harsh. Thus, A cannot be the answer.

2. Since the word "agency" is not directly highlighted but is implied in the passage, we can somewhat consider option B as implied truth, hence true to some/most degree.

And also the "agency" in option B itself is a belief among a broader list of beliefs, it has its connection to option D (which suggests this broader list of beliefs). Therefore, option B is a subset of the beliefs within option D's broader list of beliefs. Also, option D also implied truth & not directly highlighted in the passage. Thus, we can consider option D true to some/most degrees.

Therefore, at this point, we have two possible answers.

3. Since the notion of "uniformity" is explicitly conveyed & implied by the law-giver's law, it is a "must be" position for law giver pov, but it also could be possible with nature's facts. But the statement of C says the contrary regarding the law giver's pov which of course cannot be true. So, option C also cannot be considered.

4. Conclusion- at this point, options B & D seems feasible but there can be one possible answer. So now we need to find the most correct one. Both the words "agency" & "beliefs" are involved words, but the passage obvious hint toward agency rather than belief.

Explanation:- agency is the least implied among the two words. Now, we can see that between B & D, option B is most grounded in the passage & least implied option too.

Third, "The author is not happy with the word 'law' because it implies an agency which has made them. Vs The author is not happy with the word 'law' because it gives rise to false beliefs". Between this two statements, "agency" is directly suggested in passage than the "false belief" although the word agency is also implicit like the word belief, but is less implicit & give more directly suggestive in the passage.

The answer should be C.

The ans should be C.

According to the line " It would be better to speak of uniformities in nature" simply shows that author was not happy with the word"LAW" because it does not convey the uniformities in nature.

I think the answer shuld be C.

A is surely a wrong answer. The answer should be B--a law implies a law giver-- and it does not hold true for nature.

Thank you all for explaining the question.

How that the answer is A? Please explain me?

As per the author, Because of law nature can't make uniformity in all. If some one right about his opinion but it is against the law of nature is punished. So this perfectly explain the theme rigidity and harshness.

I think A is the correct answer because, the author states that the laws of nature are NOT commands,command is too harsh a word.

Yes we call them "Laws", but still they are just statements of acts done by nature itself.

Here mentioned: If a piece of matter does not obey a law of nature it is punished-so it seems rigidity and harshness, I think A is the answer.
