Which statement best represents rudyard kiplings view of indigenous people in "the white mans burden"

A. Indigenous people are morally impure.

Explanation:

Born in Bombay, British India, in an aristocratic family, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) had a childhood marked by the stories of enchantment told by Indian servants serving the family. These, of course, influenced his work as a writer and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. The White Man's Burden is perhaps Kipling's shortest work. But those seven stanzas made the poem emblematic and most criticized to this day.

The message was simple enough: Kipling justified imperialism not for the pursuit and exploitation of natural resources, but as a necessity to bring "civilization" to the most "backward" places on the planet.

European languages, Christian religion, techniques, education, medicine, and even notions of hygiene should be taken to the "impure savages," that is, the nonwhites. This was the "burden", the difficult and weighty mission of the "civilized" white man to the "sad people, half child, half demon".
