I believe the correct answer is - According to Swift, he has “not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work.” 
This sentence shows that he has no personal motive for making this proposal, especially given that his wife cannot have any more children, so the proposal doesn't affect him in the slightest. This means that he made the proposal for the sole purpose of helping others, not himself. The first and the last option are incorrect as they don't even use the quotations, and the third option doesn't show that he has no personal gain out of this.

When Gulliver is repulsed by Pedro de Mendez and Gulliver's own family, what does his repulsion show about his character?
Aloiza [94]

It shows an evolution which will alienate him from society for the rest of his life. Indeed, Gulliver has found a race of talking horses that have the perfect society with no crime or vices or any form of corruption. These race of Houyhnhnms is the master of the island and rules over savage, dirty and grotesque humanoid creatures which are called the Yahoos. After spending sometime in the island, Gulliver feels more Houyhnhnm than human and considers humans a backward species. It is to be noted nonetheless, that Gulliver is rescued by a Portuguese captain that is very generous and sensitive and his refusal and disgust to acknowledge this implies that he still has the vice of pride very much ingrained in his nature.
