I need help with this

D). People acting on their desires, heedless of the  consequences.

Explanation:

In the story, the moment father superior moves into the town of Salem, he confronts 'people acting on their sinful desires without paying any heed to consequences or outcomes associated with such actions.' They were busy in satisfying their individual greed. They dangled the rules of daily life and committed every possible sin and dark desire in the disguise of virtues and righteousness. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
