B Correct answer
Explanation

The preposition 'through' correctly completes the meaning that we can understand humanity by studying human beings themselves. The phrase 'know man only through man' means understanding human nature comes from observing and studying humans, not from abstract speculation. 'By' would imply agency, 'for' suggests purpose, and 'at' indicates location - none fit the context of gaining knowledge via study.
