Hint : Consider the ideal effect of social reforms along with the face that a “protean creature” is one capable of changing forms.

Correct Answer: B

Here's Why: The phrase “is to forget” implies that the belief described in the first part of the sentence is misguided or naïve. It makes sense to argue that the assumption that reforms can “eradicate,” or eliminate, all societal evils is overly idealistic because evil is “protean,” or capable of taking on a new “shape.”
