<u> D. Men are only human and fallible themselves and cannot claim their opinions to be divine and infallible.</u>
The excerpt asserts rulers' nature (both civilian and ecclesiastical): they are fallible, imperfect, and uninspired men. Still, over the centuries, they have established and imposed their opinions on others as reliable, as the only truth. But this is wrong, the divine, and the truth can not depend on men's opinions or beliefs about what they think it's right. In conclusion, men with their fallible and imperfect nature, cannot claim their opinions to be divine and infallible.

Explanation:
The saying “Ignorance is bliss” originates in Thomas Gray’s poem “Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College” (1742). The quote goes: “Where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.” Face it: you were better off not knowing that, weren’t you? Generally speaking, ignorance is a detestable state of mind. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to deal with life. But ignorance itself doesn’t equal stupidity. For instance, I view myself as someone who is smart enough to realize his huge capacity for stupidity. I know there are massive gaps in my cultural and general knowledge. I would define my intellectual state as, at times, unaware. But who am I kidding? In some areas of life, I’m just plain ignorant, even if not by choice.
