D. The spaceship metaphor suggests that humans must share resources to survive; the lifeboat metaphor suggests that some humans must hoard resources.

One key difference between the spaceship framework and that of the lifeboat framework is that by comparing the earth to a spaceship they are saying we must keep all resources for ourselves. Where as in the lifeboat theory Hardin is saying that we must share the resources that we have collected.
