Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child. What does the passage from Kipling's "White Man's Burden" most likely mean? A That the people they conquered were evil and old B That the people they conquered were innocent and mischievous C That the people they conquered were ignorant and uncivilized D That the people they conquered were good and noble

The best option from the list would be "C That the people they conquered were ignorant and uncivilized," since the "ignorance" comes from being "half children" and the uncivilized comes from the "devil".
