C Correct answer
Explanation

Option (3) is grammatically the most correct. Option (1) is incorrect as 'man' has been changed into plural form, which is not required. Option (2) is incorrect because 'aesthetically' is not modifying any word. Option (4) is incorrect because of use of 'objection of knowledge', which deviates the meaning of the sentence. Option (5) is incorrect because of wrong usage of word 'entire'.
