Choice D is the best answer. In the last sentence of Passage 2, Lincoln asks about the likelihood that people will fundamentally change: "Do you think that the nature of man will be changed?" In this context, the word "nature" most nearly means character.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because in the context of a discussion of the "nature of man," the word "nature" most nearly means character, not force (choice A), simplicity (choice B), or world (choice C).
