Explanation:

Swift's 'The Modest Proposal' is one of the most acknowledged satires that underlines the social issues like poverty in Ireland as a product of the exploitation of wealthy Englishmen.

As per the question, the poor women of Ireland commit infanticide as 'they are unable to feed their children' as the extreme poverty has led the 'children to become a burthen on their parents.' Swift presents the absurd idea of 'selling the children into meat market' to criticize the issue of chronic poverty and the social as well as economic issues of exploitation and immorality. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
