B.
We (Zamyatin) centers on a highly regimented, technologically driven One State where mechanization, rational planning, and "progress" erase individuality and human feeling. While resistance to conformity appears (so C), the broader, central critique is that technological/collective "advancement" comes at the cost of humanity. Options A and D are too narrow or off-focus.
