This passage reflects the theme of unintended consequences and the tragic results of the protagonist's actions, but it does not directly address the theme of losing humanity to science and technology.

Option B:

This passage focuses on the theme of revenge and the intense emotions of the character, rather than the loss of humanity due to scientific endeavors.

Option C:

This passage illustrates the ambition and idealism of the protagonist in his scientific pursuits, but it does not explicitly convey the loss of humanity.

Option D:

This passage best illustrates the theme of "losing humanity to science and technology" as it describes the protagonist's enthusiastic frenzy and blindness to the horror of his actions during his scientific experiments. This reflects how his obsession with science led him to lose sight of his humanity and moral considerations.
