This argument observes the presence of loaded language, especially in the words that carry negative connotations ("... useless ... trample..."). These are used to appeal to the listener's emotions and sway their opinion on the matter at hand. Options A and B are not viable as answers for this argument due to the fact that the cause and effect presented by the fragment are relatively true. This statement would not count as a "straw man" either as, in order to be one, it would have to be a counterargument attempting to fool/manipulate their opponent.
