Which sentence from the passage is a comment on insensitivity?

A.

I might give alms to his body; but his body did not pain him; it was his soul that suffered, and his soul I could not reach.

B.

And when at last it is perceived that such pity cannot lead to effectual succor, common sense bids the soul rid of it.

C.

I remembered that he never spoke but to answer; that though at intervals he had considerable time to himself, yet I had never seen him reading—no, not even a newspaper.

D.

I mean no mischief, seek the gratification of no heartless curiosity, thought I; besides, the desk is mine, and its contents too, so I will make bold to look within.
Edit: Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street is the passage
