Letter C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Gulliver's Travels is a book by English author Jonathan Swift. It contains four different trips to four different destinations, being The Country of Houyhnhnms the last of them. Through this trip, Swift wants to show that intelligence and kindness do not exist among human beings, as the speaker in the story compares horses and people, particularly after he comes back home, and he realizes he cannot stand anymore to deal with humans because they are similar to the yahoo a species found in the mentioned country, creatures that are extremely disgusting and resemble human beings.
