Solution

The correct option is C cruel people
The final para says that the natives were savages. The word "savage" means extremely cruel. Hence, C is the correct answer.
Although the description of the inhabitants is somewhat suggestive of primitiveness, the passage doesn't mention that explicitly. So, we cannot accept D.
We can reject the other choices.
