Explanation:

The sentence can be made grammatically correct and contextually meaningful by replacing the phrase given in bold by [but mere thinking cannot give]. “rather” is an adverb which is used to indicate one's preference in a particular matter. However, there’s no comparison provided. Therefore, the correct conjunction to provide the sentence a contextual meaning should be “but” or “yet”. The conjunction “but” is used to introduce a phrase or clause contrasting with what has already been mentioned. However, option (c) is contextually incorrect. Hence, option (d) becomes the most viable answer choice
