Answer: C
The statement means that a good book can be included among the best of friends of mankind.
'May be among the best of friends' says a good book belongs in the group of the best friends. The passage goes on to say that a book is patient and cheerful, and does not desert us in adversity, so it is a friend of that kind.
Option A claims no friend can be better, which is stronger than 'among the best'. Option B compares books with good men, which the passage does not do. Option D is about what friends read, which is not what the sentence says.
