Select the most appropriate meaning of the given proverb. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

  • A.Foolish people get angry at others very easily and so will not get the blessings of the angels.
  • B.People who do not care for others and behave in a rash manner are not blessed by angels.
  • C.Angels avoid coming to the places that are visited by fools regularly.
  • D.People who lack good sense will make rash decisions without much thought.

Answer: D

The proverb Fools rush in where angels fear to tread means that people who lack good sense will take rash decisions without much thought, in matters in which wise people are careful. It is a line from Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism.

The other options explain it as anger, blessings or the angels avoiding fools, but the proverb is about rash action in the face of risk.
