Answer:
D. He understands where the Beast comes from.
Explanation:
The book "The Lord of the Flies" portrays the regression to savagery of a group of English children in a boarding school, stranded on a deserted island without adult supervision, after the plane crash carrying them away from the war.
The title of the book is a clear reference to Baal Zebube, or Lord of the Flies, which some Bible scholars understand to be a vivid personification of the devil to the Jews of the days of Jesus. The "Lord of the Flies" is revealed to one of the young men, on the island, personified by the head of a pig that is impaled after a hunt. This young man, "Simon," is epileptic and tries to calm the group's fear of a "beast", an "animal" that might circle the forest of the island, ready to attack them. Simon says he understands where the Beast comes from, thus contributing to the plot of the story. Of course, this animal did not exist and that it was a form of fear, so inherently present in human hearts, to establish itself in the young boys, because they were in an inhospitable environment and without any adult inspections.
