Option A is incorrect

Further Explanation:

It depicts the collective society as a destructive force that represses the independent thinker.

In this excerpt, we can see how individualism vanishes in the face of the majority, as the individual thinkers often vanish in the herd of the majority. In this excerpt, there is a piece of clear information about individual thinkers, who initially protested and warned against the collective action that was being taken, however, no one paid any heed to their warnings. In the end, these independent thinkers were forced to sideline their views, and accept the collective majority’s decisions, who were following each other just like a herd of sheep. The lack of individual thinking gave them a false sense of hope about being victorious in an already losing battle, and through this excerpt, we see the loopholes and mistakes that are a result of group thinking and always lead to disastrous consequences.  

The importance of individuality and individual existence forms one of the core themes of the novel. It brings out that even in the face of suppression of individuality by authoritarian power, there will be the presence of dissenting elements who choose to raise their voices and think individually. However, the inner strength of individual thinking determines whether they are able to rise despite the constant suppression or oppression, or their voices die in the multitudes around them. Anthem stresses constantly the importance of I, which although forms a part of we, but should not be allowed to disintegrate completely and submerge with ‘we’. The loss of individual thinking is detrimental to survival, and only those men who have dared to think freely would survive.

It depicts the collective society as a destructive force that represses the independent thinker. 

Looking at the excerpt, you can see that even with the warnings they did not heed because of the few who did so. They went with the majority even if they were wrong. These independent thinkers, perished along with them as a result.
