C Correct answer
Explanation

This proverb states 'Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater one.' It contrasts external control (laws) with internal self-control (right conduct/morals). The wisdom is that ordinary people need rules to behave properly, while superior individuals are guided by their own conscience and ethical standards. Options A, B, and D don't create this meaningful philosophical contrast.
