Answer 1

The correct option is D However, despite its many utilitarian benefits, colleges have not always supported the study of philosophy

Despite philosophy teaching useful tools for academic and professional achievement, only 18 percent of the American colleges incorporated the course within curriculum, thus indicating their lack of support. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence, incorrect.
