The answer is D: Anger brings destruction.

An aphorism is an instructive statement, like a maxim or adage, a short clever saying that expresses a general truth, which give them universal acceptance. The other senteces are proverbs, simple and popular sayings, which are phrases that give advise based in common sense, practical experience or a common place truth.
