The author of Animal Farm, George Orwell, wrote this book to critique the policies of Stalin's regime in Russia. Orwell identified as a democratic-socialist.
The pigs claim control over the farm after driving out the human owner. Initially, they advocate for equality and the other animals believe that their lives are about to improve.
Nevertheless, as they gain power, particularly Napoleon, they start to exploit their leadership for personal gain and resort to deception to manipulate the other animals.
In the quoted section, Napoleon eliminates another pig, whose ideals originally fostered equality. He gradually evolves into a dictator, assisted by Squealer, who uses lies to control the animals. Napoleon shifts blame to others and abandons his principles as it suits him. For example, the original seven commandments that animals follow get modified as the pigs become more akin to humans:
- No animal shall kill any other animal

- No animal shall kill any other animal without justification.
I believe the most accurate answer for me is D.
