What is most closely the central idea of the passage below (paragraph 28)?

from the preface to Lyrical Ballads by William Wordsworth

The principal object, then, which I proposed to myself in these poems was to choose incidents and situations from common life, and to relate or describe them throughout, as far as was possible, in a selection of language really used by men; … Low and rustic life was generally chosen, because in that condition, the essential passions of the heart find a better soil in which they can attain their maturity, are less under restraint, and speak a plainer and more emphatic language; because in that condition of life our elementary feelings co-exist in a state of greater simplicity, and, consequently, may be more accurately contemplated, and more forcibly communicated; because the manners of rural life germinate from those elementary feelings; and, from the necessary character of rural occupations, are more easily comprehended; and are more durable; and, lastly, because in that conditions the passions of men are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature.

Question 27 options:

A) Wordsworth felt inadequate because of his education and aristocratic birth and sought to gain self-respect among the rural poor
B) Wordsworth found the possibility for clearer and more direct poetic themes, and language, among country people.
C) Wordsworth only wrote poems in the language of the rural, agricultural working class.
D) Wordsworth rejected his education and sought to live the life of a rural peasant
