The correct option is D.
What Gulliver is trying to say in the passage given above is that, no matter how faithfully and loyally you have served the princes before, once you do something that they did not like all the services you have rendered  to them in the past will not even be remembered by them again. 
When you say 'something is of little weight' as used in the sentence above, that mean, that thing have no importance, it is something that can be easily be disregarded.
