Explanation:

- (A) Man is entirely different: This part is correct. It sets up a comparison between humans and other animals.

- (B) than other animals: This is where the error lies. The correct word should be "from" instead of "than." The phrase should be "different from" when making comparisons.

- (C) in the utter helplessness: This part is grammatically correct. It describes the comparative aspect of human infancy.

- (D) of his babyhood: This is also correct and complements the previous part by specifying the stage of life being discussed.

The sentence should ideally read: "Man is entirely different from other animals in the utter helplessness of his babyhood."

- Correct Option: Option 2 - B
