The statement which best sums up the passage is :
Answer: B
The statement that best sums up the passage is irrational beliefs decline with the advancement of science.
The passage opens by saying superstitions ought to grow less as science progresses, notes that they linger, and closes by saying that more scientific knowledge does reduce superstition and baseless guessing. The central point is that science reduces irrational belief.
'Superstitions disappear' overstates it, since the passage shows they linger. The comparison with savage tribes is only an illustration in the middle of the passage, and the tribes are not said to be very different from us, so the last two options do not capture the whole passage.
