The theme of individualism
Transcendentalists believed that people are pure as individuals, but once they start letting society influence them, they can become corrupted. Emerson, in Self-Reliance, reinforces this thought and encourages people to be and guide themselves without letting society corrupt them.
When you condemn something, you give reasons to why something is bad, when you endorse something, you are promoting it.
So, in this passage, it first condemns other pizza restaurants, then endorses one.
So, "D" is the answer.
I hope this helps!

The basic unit of meter in poetry is a foot.
Syllable would be the correct answer if the option said 'stressed or unstressed syllable,' because there are two types of syllables, not only the unstressed one. An iamb and a trochee are types of feet in poetry, so they are incorrect as well. A foot is a unit of meter which consists of a number of syllables.
