Certain words/phrases in the passage are given in bold to locate them while answering some of the questions. The world of today has achieved much, but for all its declared love for humanity it has based itself far more on hatred and violence than on the virtues that make man human. War is the negation of truth and humanity. War may be unavoidable sometimes but its progeny are terrible to contemplate. Not mere killing, for man must die, but the deliberate and persistent propagation of hatred and falsehood, which gradually become the normal habits of the people. It is dangerous and harmful to be guided in our life's course by hatreds and aversions, for they are wasteful of energy and limit and twist the mind, and prevent it from perceiving the truth.

According to the author the word declared love of humanity is:

A)  non- existent   

B)         false

C)  true

D)  not to be taken seriously
