Question 3.

In this question, we need to find a statement which is in line with the ideas given in the passage(then, if it is false, it will contradict the passage).

Option A: "Through meditation and the right attitude, one allows emotions to happen to oneself (it is impossible to prevent this), but one is  advised to observe the emotions without necessarily acting on them; one achieves some distance and decides what has value and what does not have value."

The above excerpt was written to describe the similarities between Stoicism and Buddhism. Since option A is not in line with the above excerpt's idea, it is not the correct option.

Option B: This option can easily be refuted on the basis of the information given in the first line of the passage. It cannot be inferred that Zeno survived into the Roman era until about AD 300.

Option C: "The Epicureans, first associated with the Greek philosopher Epicurus . . . held a similar view, believing that people should enjoy simple pleasures, such as good conversation, friendship, food, and wine, but not be indulgent in these pursuits and not follow passion for those things that hold no real value like power and money."

Since this option reiterates the idea mentioned in the underlined portion of the above excerpt, this is the correct option.

Thus, the correct option is C.
