A man certainly can make money with the help of his family, but it's not the focus of the story. It certainly isn't about the needs of villagers since it barely says anything about it. It does talk about a creative and hardworking person, but there's a very important thing in the text, and it is how hard the life of the hardworking person was.

That's why the correct answer is:

D.)You can find opportunities for success even in bleak times.
