"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor." The sentence that best describes Thoreau's meaning in the statement is:

A. Man improves his life when he is aware of what he is meant to do.

By " elevating his life by a conscious endeavor", he means that the man through well-thought actions, or strategy, can facilitate his chances of doing things better, therefore excelling in life.
