b.) You must keep to yourself, in order to keep society successful.

The ancient philosophy of the Greek by the name of Stoicism says that the development of self-control and fortitude are the way to overcome destructive emotions.

The B statement is the only one that seems to fit this, since it's the one that talks about self control when it says "keep it to yourself".
