D. Irish farmersAccording to the ideas presented in a modest proposal, Swift considers the Irish farmers one of the biggest part of the problem. Explanation:He makes fun of the Irish farmers on their thinking that they are practical in life. He also makes references to the boys and girls of the Irish society pointing on the question of economics and the prevailing situation in the country. He even makes a satirical comment like the Irish people must eat their babies in some context.

Choice 1, to signal that he is actually writing a satire. “a modest proposal” is a satirical work that suggests something completely off the wall to help the economy in swift’s country, just to make a point that everyone’s misguided suggestions are getting them nowhere. giving false premises wouldn’t increase the honesty of his proposal, so choice 2 is incorrect. if one wants to show their true belief in a proposal, they’d offer real evidence. choice 3 is incorrect as well. while satire sometimes does cause people to laugh, that isn’t swift’s purpose–he wants to drive people to think, and he wants to point out the obvious issues with the system they have currently. choice 4 is incorrect because his points are not valid. his “false premises” basically invalidate all of his points because he has no true basis for any of his arguments.
