OPTION A - INCORRECT
Heartless human beings are like wild animals, which will rip its own kin at the slightest of need --> It is wrong pronoun; a grammar error

OPTION B - INCORRECT
Heartless human beings were like wild animals, which have ripped their own kin at the slightest of need --> This is a generalization and the use of past tense renders this option invalid. Grammar error - past tense with present tense doesn't match

OPTION C - INCORRECT
Human beings are like heartless wild animals, which rip their own kin in the slightest of need --> The sweeping remark that all human beings are heartless is absurd; a sever distortion of original intent.

OPTION D - INCORRECT
Human beings are like heartless wild animals, which rip at its own kin in the slightest of need --> This option suffers same fate as option C above

OPTION E - CORRECT
Heartless human beings are like wild animals, which rip their own kin in the slightest of need --> The remnant that corrects the errors . Pronouns are used in correct tense.
