Solution

The correct option is C the government looked upon its industrialists as crooks
Option C: As mentioned in the passage, "That the government actually sheltered its industrialists from foreign competition is a little strange. For in all other respects, it opened under the conviction that businessmen were little more than crooks, who were to be prevented from entering the most important areas of the economy..."
The government strongly held the opinion that businessmen/industrialists were crooks.
The same is mentioned in option C, hence it is correct.
Options A, B and D: These lines are neither mentioned in nor implied by the given passage. Hence options A, B and D are wrong.

Q. "It has been thought a considerable advance towards establishing the principles of Freedom to say that Government is a compact between those who govern and those who are governed; but this cannot be true, because it is putting the effect before the cause; for as man must have existed before governments existed, there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist, and consequently there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact with. The fact, therefore, must be that the individuals, themselves, each, in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist."
