c. blindness to reality makes one blind to the truth
d. disagreeing with others is more common for those who can see
the first blind man happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. "well, well! " he said, "now i know all about this beast. he is exactly like a wall."
the second felt only of the elephant's tusk. "my brother," he said, "you are mistaken. he is not at all like a wall. he is round and smooth and sharp. he is more like a spear than anything else."
the third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "both of you are wrong," he said. "anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a snake."
the fourth reached out his arms, and grasped one of the elephant's legs. "oh, how blind you are! " he said. "it is very plain to me that he is round and tall like a tree."
the fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. "the blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name," he said. "he is exactly like a huge fan."
the sixth was very blind indeed, and it was some time before he could find the elephant at all. at last he seized the animal's tail. "o foolish fellows! " he cried. "you surely have lost your senses. this elephant is not like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. but any man with a particle of sense can see that he is exactly like a rope."
then the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, and quarreled about him. each believed that he knew just how the animal looked; and each called the others hard names because they did not agree with him. people who have eyes sometimes act as foolishly.

My guess is the answer b) people with or without sight can be equally unwise

Explanation:

Each man grasped a different part of the elephant. Therefore each man felt something different and thought something different. What none of them thought of was that maybe each of their depictions of the elephant might be correct.
