D. He believes people often prefer avoiding confrontation rather than getting involved.

Explanation:

One of the main ideas that Wiesel expresses in the text "The Perils of Indifference" is the fact that people often do not intervene in a situation because they want to avoid the confrontation that might come with it. They find getting involved to be difficult, awkward or too much trouble. However, Wiesel tells us that this is exactly the problem that we need to fight against. The fact that people are indifferent to the suffering of others is also what enables others to abuse and harm, as was the case during the Holocaust.
