Solution :

The correct option is Religious denominations tend to ignore the unity of man.


Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Analyzing the Passage:
The passage highlights two contrasting scenarios regarding religious denominations:
- If individuals judge their own religion, every religion is viewed as right.
- If individuals judge each other's religions, every religion is viewed as wrong.
Conclusively, when religions evaluate one another, division and mutual rejection arise, causing humanity to either be all right or all wrong.


2. Evaluating the Options:
- Option 1 ("No man can live without adhering to some religious denomination."): The passage does not state or assume that adherence to a religion is mandatory for human existence.
- Option 2 ("It is the duty of everyone to propagate one’s religious denomination."): Propagation or duty is never mentioned in the text.
- Option 3 ("Religious denominations tend to ignore the unity of man."): This is the most logical assumption. Since judging each other leads to a state where no religion is considered right, sectarian division undermines shared human commonality and unity.
- Option 4 ("Men do not understand their own religious denomination."): The passage explicitly states that when individuals judge their own religion, it is not considered wrong, implying self-validation rather than a lack of understanding.


Therefore, the passage logically implies that exclusive denominational perspectives tend to overlook or ignore the fundamental unity of mankind.
