In each of the following sentences, a part of the sentence is left unfinished. Beneath each sentence, four different ways of completing the sentence are indicated. Choose the best alternative among the four.

- Option : D

but it is not the ultimate aim.
(b) A man's toil may secure a lot of things for his children or friends . That too is not something great.
(c) A man's toil may help him to overcome many difficulties, but that does not give him much pleasure.
