Picaro is human. He indulges in vices which enrages society. He is authentic. He acts as foil to society to reveal its hypocrisy. Society marginalizes him because he is viewed as dangerous.
Trickster serves as moral instruction: do not behave like the trickster. Trickster is animal; lives in world of myth; flaws are the trickster's own, not the society's; is a comic figure and socially marginalized because he is fundamentally antisocial. Trickster only makes himself look bad.
The author tells us why the conventional society perceives the picaro as dangerous in the middle of P2: “Thus the picaro's authenticity serves as a foil to the perceived hypocrisy of conventional society. To such a society, the picaro can represent a dangerous, disruptive freedom, and it reacts by marginalizing him.” Let’s look for an answer that says the picaro’s authenticity serves as a foil to the perceived hypocrisy of conventional society.
a
The picaro has ███ █████████ ██ ███████ ████████ ██████ ██ ███████ ████████
This doesn’t relate to the picaro’s ability to show the hypocrisy of conventional society.

The picaro threatens ██ █████ █████████████ █████████ ███████████
This doesn’t relate to the picaro’s ability to show the hypocrisy of conventional society.
c
The picaro has ████ ████████████ ██ ████████████ ████████
This doesn’t relate to the picaro’s ability to show the hypocrisy of conventional society. Although it’s true that the picaro is marginalized, this isn’t the reason society views the picaro as dangerous.
d
The picaro threatens ██ █████ ███████ ██ ████ ███ ██████████
This captures what the author says leads conventional society to view the picaro as dangerous.
