According to James Rachels :
Answer: D
Rachels holds that the distinction between active and passive euthanasia on the ground of moral acceptability is worth questioning.
In 'Active and Passive Euthanasia' (1975), James Rachels argues that killing is not in itself morally worse than letting die. With his Smith and Jones example, where one drowns a child and the other merely lets him drown, he shows the bare difference carries no moral weight, so the medical doctrine allowing passive but forbidding active euthanasia is questionable.
The other options state one side of the distinction he challenges, rather than his conclusion.
