Solution

The correct option is D rebellious
Option D is the correct answer. The young men, instead of joining the service, as stated in the text, went to meet with like-minded people to question the society they were taught about in church, and contemplated societal and scientific questions. As much as their chauvinist natures come forth nearing the end of the text, there is no indication of such behaviour in the beginning. Their rebelling against going to church is evidence of them not being pious. Similarly, The other options are not clarified or supported by the text. Therefore, options A,B,C and E are incorrect.
