Answer: A
For Heidegger the proper response to technology is to understand it within Being (Sein).
In 'The Question Concerning Technology' (1954), Heidegger argues that the essence of modern technology is nothing technological: it is Gestell (enframing), a way in which Being reveals beings as standing reserve, resources to be ordered and used. The danger lies in mistaking this mode of revealing for the only one. The response he calls for is to think the essence of technology, to understand it as a destining of Being, which opens a free relation to it.
He explicitly rejects both blindly pushing technology forward and rebelling against it as the work of the devil, so 'abandon' and 'accelerate' are wrong, and 'manipulate' is the instrumental attitude he criticises.
