Solution

The correct option is D have needs beyond physical comforts
Option D is the correct answer. The author has emphasized the human nature of seeking comfort and pleasure, but also the fact that man is not complete with the physical comforts, that we need more to be truly human. The statements of options A,B,C and E are incorrect because they do not convey the same meaning that the author has tried to illustrate in the passage.
