Which of the following is NOT a tenet of F.T. Marinetti's "Futurist Manifesto" ?
Correct answer: D. "We want never to glorify war, the scourge of the planet."
- A. "We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of danger and of temerity."
- B. "The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, daring, and revolt."
- C. "We want to sing the man who holds the steering wheel, whose ideal stem pierces the Earth, itself launched on the circuit of its orbit."

Explanation
Marinetti’s Futurism openly celebrated war, violence, danger, speed, and revolt as forces of modern energy. Therefore the statement denying the glorification of war is not a tenet.
