D. "Pre-eminent among the pigs were two young boars named Snowball and Napoleon, whom Mr. Jones was breeding up for sale.”

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

The stated question is culled from the book, Animal Farm.

"Animal Farm" is a book written by George Orwell. The book is known to be an animal fable which gives a mockery of the Russian communism system. When the Major died, the pigs came to power in the farm. This is because they believed that they were the most intelligent of all the animals.

Among the pigs, the struggle for power was actually between Napoleon and Snowball just like the struggle was between Trotsky and Stalin in Russia.

The book portrays the Russian (or Bolshevik) Revolution of 1917. The characters and events contained in the novel are parallels of those of the Russian Revolution. Manor Farm is seen as a model of Russia, old Major, Snowball, and Napoleon actually represent the dominant figures of the Russian Revolution.
