Answer:

D. Humans will lose touch with one another if they allow technology to dominate their lives.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the main themes of "The Pedestrian" is the degradation of the human in society as a result of the technological evolution. In this highly-developed human community, houses are like crypts where people sit in front of their TVs and watch like if they were inanimate, not interacting with each other.
