Read this passage from "The Obligation to Endure": When the public protests, confronted with some obvious evidence of damaging results of pesticide applications, it is fed little tranquilizing pills of half truth. We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts.

What does the metaphor in the passage mean?

A) The names of common pesticides have an undesirable connotation, so they need to change.
B) Scientists have behaved as if they're on mind-altering drugs in their creation of pesticides.
C)The public has responded to the problem of pesticides as if they are on sleeping pills.
D)Responses to public protests have partially calmed the crowds, like tranquilizer pills.
