The correct answer is D.

The line "Child as he was, he was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery" reveals a concern with the social ills of the time.

A starving child is definitely indicative of a social ill. Any society that has starving children who are desperate and miserable is a society that has its problems. Therefore, this line reveals a concern with social ills, or problems.
