Option A Wrong
This statement is not in actual fact whats needed of the expression. The aim and objectives is to change the manner the question has been asked whilst of course retaining the meaning.

Option B Wrong
The statement has been changed herein because it seeks to explain that man is being compared state of nature. In fact, the writer said 'only man' which means there are other species that must have been considered. The statement has a different meaning entirely.

Option C Wrong
This is a speculative assertion because the writer never said not did he infer that only the society corrupts as against the fallacious stand of the option statement.

Option D Wrong
This is also a bit lacking in definition because it is contrasting with the aim and objectives of the writer. It seeks only to change the direction of the sentence such that it gives the same meaning and not change the components of the statement to appear disjointed in meaning offering no clear cut semblance to the original documents.

Option E Right
This to me appears the most accurate most especially with the interchangeable use of "which" in place of "that" which is mostly regarded a demonstrative pronoun. It is accurately fitting and linguistically correct enough to offer the same or even more apt to the statement originally written by the writer.
