Which is one way that Swift criticizes society in "A Modest Proposal"?

Swift’s shocking proposal is a satire: he pretends that poor families should sell their children as food. The horror of the idea exposes the cruelty and indifference of people who treat the poor as a problem to manage rather than as human beings. Choice D captures this criticism; choice B describes a reaction to the proposal, not the social attitude Swift is chiefly condemning.
