Explanation:

In paragraph 3, the protagonist recoils from the idea of despair and begins to desire for life; he gives up on the idea of dying. Until now he has suffered so much that he feels that it would have been better if he had died years ago. The phrase “sarcasm of destiny” basically implies that the life chances of the protagonist are not in his control in any way; the external force of destiny has control over whether he lives or dies. This supports option 2.
Option 1 may not always be valid.
Option 3 is illogical; destiny is not an actual entity which is capable of 'struggling'.
Option 4 can be ruled out, as it tries to imply that the prisoner is more powerful than destiny and can mock it. This is not substantiated by the passage.
Option 5 can be eliminated, as destiny cannot be considered as the “enemy”- it is merely an external force which the protagonist has no control over.
Eliminate options 1, 3, 4 and 5.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
