What do the following lines reveal mainly about Thomas Carlyle’s opinion of the laboring class (paragraph 19)?

All true Work is sacred; in all true Work, were it but true hand-labor, there is something of divineness. Labor, wide as the Earth, has its summit in Heaven. Sweat of the brow; and up from that to sweat of the brain, sweat of the heart; which includes all Kepler calculations, Newton meditations, all Sciences, all spoken Epics, all acted Heroisms, Martyrdoms,--up to that “Agony of bloody sweat,” which all men have called divine! O brother, if this is not “worship,” then I say, the more pity for worship; for this is the noblest thing yet discovered under God’s sky. Who art thou that complainest of thy life of toil? Complain not. Look up, my wearied brother; see thy fellow Workmen there, in God’s Eternity; surviving there, they alone surviving: sacred Band of the Immortals, celestial Bodyguard of the Empire of Mankind.
Question 5 options:
A)He believed intellectual work, such as that of Kepler, Newton, and the epic poets, to be superior to physical labor.
B) He thought workers were the most exalted of beings, and work the highest human calling there is.
C) D. He thought laziness was the worst human trait imaginable.
