C

Explanation
While the men had bread and wine, they respected the rule against eating the cattle. Once their food ran out and hunger grew severe, they began searching for anything they could eat. The excerpt suggests that keeping to moral rules becomes difficult when people are suffering, which matches “It is easy to uphold morals when one is not suffering.”
