You didn't give the options. However, i'll try.
To me, a stone cannot be ethical because it cannot suffer. Indeed, the capacity for suffering must be satisfied before we talk about interest in a meaningful way. For instance, nothing we could possibly do for a stone could make a difference in its welfare. It don't have interest. Whereas, we, humans have interest. Therefore we can be ethical because we are sentient beings that can be benifited or harmed. It's because we can experience pain as a result.
Hope this helps !

I believe the correct answer is D. humorous and informal.
You can see in the excerpt that the narrator is talking about him/herself in a humorous manner by mentioning his/her eccentricities such as 'mismatched socks' etc. The tone is very light and funny, so A, B, and C would be incorrect answers.
