PLEASE HELP ME I;M STUCK

Which phrase from Marge Piercy's "To Be Use" best illustrates the poem's celebratory tone toward hard work?

I want to be with people who submerge
in the task, who go into the fields to harvest
and work in a row and pass the bags along,
who are not parlor generals and field deserters
but move in a common rhythm
when the food must come in or the fire be put out.

a. "who go into the fields"
b. "parlor generals and field deserters"***
c. "move in a common rhythm"
d. "food must come in"***
