Answer:

A). Marlow says the colonialists had a hole dug out of "the philanthropic desire  of giving criminals something to do."

Explanation:

"Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad is an attempt to reveal and interrogate the roots of colonialism and condemn the inner void and greed of the imperialistic pursuits of colonizers.

As per the question, the quote in which Conrad employs sarcasm while retelling Marlow's tale is displayed through option A i.e. 'Marlow displays that these 'colonialists had a whole dug out of the philanthropic desire of giving criminals something to do'.  <em>Conrad uses sarcasm in order to given an insight to the darkness of the colonizers and reveal the alternative side of their(colonizers') so called 'philanthropic lies' in a light-hearted manner which is the chief goal of sarcasm(to expose the human follies through humor and irony).</em> Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

One of the reasons people destroy or get rid of what they don't understand is the fear of the unknown. This fear is deeply anchored on self-preservation.

<h3>Examples of people getting rid of what they don't understand</h3>

<em>One key example of how this is practiced is in the relationship between man and animals</em>. People who are afraid that a certain kind of animal might hurt them are more likely to support hunting or killing such an animal.

<em>The other example is in relation to people. </em>Over the history of mankind, man has helped to destroy one another because of the fear of self-preservation. A fake document called Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which alleged that the Jews had a plan to take over the world triggered the Holocaust.

<h3>The danger of the mindset above</h3>

The irony is that many times, due to ignorance, a person or a group of people may do away with the very thing that can preserve or better their life.
