The correct answer is D. Hamlet explores the purpose of living and places a high value on reason.

What Hamlet is saying in this excerpt is that humans are no different than animals if they don't use their reason and mind. We have been endowed with reason (unlike animals) so we are supposed to use it in our everyday lives. Renaissance humanism put a lot of emphasis on man and reason, so this quote depicts such opinions perfectly.
