To determine the answer, we would need to know the context in which the author presents Lord Acton's statement about power. If the author effectively supports the idea that "power tends to corrupt" and illustrates it with examples, the answer would be A. If the author critiques or disagrees with this notion, the answer would be B. If the statement is the main focus of the author's argument, the answer would be C. If the author suggests readers disregard the quote, the answer would be D.
Without the specific text, I can't definitively select an option. However, based on the typical use of such a quote, if it is a critical part of a discussion on authority or ethics, A or C would be most likely. Please clarify with more context for a precise answer.
