Answer is Option B: Children are separated from parental figures, and sibling relationships are not encouraged.

Explanation:

In "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass", Frederick Douglass wrote this to "prove" his identity, and to let a greater number of people know about his powerful criticism of slavery.

The narrator was a slave and he explains to the people how slaves were treated. Life under Colonel Lloyd was brutal where family relations were not given any importance. They were separated from their parents and were not allowed to interact with anyone. They did like this so that slaves are not distracted by anyone. It would cause hindrance to their work. They made sure that siblings were not kept together.
