Marvin · Answer 1

If you look at options A and C you can notice that they're contradictory, so they can't both be true, therefore the correct answer must be one of them.

The correct answer is in fact a) : desire can be ended, unlike what the option says, and the end to desire is what Buddha was advocating for.
