Answer : Option B
Explanation :
The comparison is between human desires and the desires of other animals. As 'human desires' is plural 'those should be used in place of 'that'. Also the use of 'unlikely' is absurd. It is a comparison. 'Unlike the desires of animals, human desires are insatiable' is the suggested meaning. Hence the correction is 'unlike those of animals'.
