Answer:

OD. Because he found fault with English political parties.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jonathan Swift wrote his "Gulliver's Travels" revolving around the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver to the lands of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, etc. The story is a satirical take on the English community, society, people, especially government leaders, political parties.

Throughout the story, Swift draws parallels to the characters Gulliver meets in these "fantasy' islands to the leaders of England. And because of this satirical presentation, Swift was criticized.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
