____________ is also absent in city life. 

In the hustle and bustle of city life, nobody has time for anyone else. They have incredibly busy lives. Social connections are also lacking in city life. Even their neighbors don't know them well. Being neighbors without taking an interest in your neighbors' happiness or suffering is quite natural. They don't have time for their families because they are so consumed with pursuing achievement and power. This is destroying family bonds. They do succeed in the end, but unhappily they do not have someone to celebrate their victory with. As a result, option A is the appropriate answer to the given question.
