a. daoism provides a plan for fulfilling basic human needs: food, shelter, and clothing.
b. daoism teaches that the world is evil and should be abandoned because of its emphasis on emptiness.
c. daoism uses seemingly contradictory statements to provide instruction to its followers.
d. daoism offers tough and challenging suggestions on how to use material wealth to achieve peace.

I can infer from Laozi, Daodejing that it uses seemingly contradictory statements to provide instruction to its followers.

Explanation:

In the first place, Daoism or Taoism instructs you to do the exact opposite action of what you want.

On the one hand, it says: If you want to become full, let yourself empty. This is a very deep and contradictory sentence. But the meaning is to detach from what you have, material or not to understand the real value o everything and fill yourself with what you will get after you lost everything.

On the second hand it says: If you want to be given everything, give everything up. This reinforces the past sentence telling that if you want to receive everything from someone or the world you have to give everything you want to someone else, and after that, you will receive it.

Thus a) is not true because the sentences never touch human needs like food, shelter, and clothing. They are also spiritual so a) is false.

b) is wrong because it never mentions that the world is evil.

c) it's correct because it gives you contradictory statements to teach you.

d) Even though these are tough and challenging suggestions they not only apply to material wealth but also spiritual.

Thank you.
