    D. The Poor

    Explanation:

    "Henry David Thoreau" was an American essayist and philosopher. He wrote a book entitled "Walden" which was inspired by "transcedentalism." The book centers on living a simple life with nature.

    He argued in his book that people (even if they are poor) should accept and love their lives no matter their circumstances. To support this notion, he inserted a poem called "The Pretensions of Poverty" (by Thomas Carew). It criticized those people who think that their poverty is a barrier for intellectual and moral growth. Thoreau even lived a simple life on his own for a total of 2 years at the Walden Pond. This means, he was able to survive without any support from people.

    So, this further means that the poor people should look at the brighter side of their circumstance rather than making it a reason not to prosper or feel contented.

    So, this explains the answer.
