The correct answer is D. the devil actively seeks to destroy human souls.
In the story, Dr. Faustus sells his soul to the devil in return for all the knowledge in the world. Obviously, the option D fits this theme perfectly. The devil was alluring and offered Faustus everything he wanted - all he had to give him was his soul. Of course, that turned out to be a bad idea because God couldn't help him in the end and he ended up in Hell.
