Answer:
Pick D, but don't be surprised if it is something else.
Step-by-step explanation:
No wonder you have posted this. Whoever wrote the question has an idea of what it is about, but that idea is far removed from what the passage says. I don't know what answer you could safely pick.
Let's begin by summarizing what happens.
- people were afraid. After all, he was an alien.
- The government tried to hide his existence.

4 basic facts. Which statement fits the facts?
A: Who was weak? Who was strong? Who won? These questions remain with unknown answers. I wouldn't pick A.
B: The passage is about fear and government deception, not skepticism. I would not pick B myself, but it could be possible.
C: Who shows charity? Who exactly shows self interest? I don't think this is the answer.
D: I guess this is the answer. Fear usually does just to conclusions. By exhibiting fear (on the people's part) and deception on the governnment's part, humanity missed on an opportunity to solve one of our basic problems.
