This question is in reference to the short story "To Build a Fire", by Jack London.

Answer:

The options best suited for the way the narrator describes nature and the cold is:

C. The narrator describes nature, even the dog, as indifferent to the struggles of the man.

Explanation:

"To Build a Fire" is a short story by author Jack London in which a man learns a most valuable lesson at a very high cost. The main character ignores how powerful nature is, thinking too much of his own skills. He is new to the winter at the Yukon region and naive enough to forget his own weaknesses as a human being.

The narrator in the story makes it clear that nature is not concerned with man. Nature has no mind, it simply is, in a powerful manner. It is man who wishes to conquer nature but to no avail. Throughout the story, the man thinks to himself that "it is certainly cold". That's it. Simply put, no exaggeration, no personification.

The dog that accompanies the man, for instance, is merely confused by the man's lack of fear. The dog understands danger better than the man. Notice that it is indifferent toward this man. What concerns it is survival. The same goes for nature. It is relentless, unstoppable. The cold is still cold, even if it kills someone:

Never in the dog’s experience had it known a man  to sit like that in the snow and make no fire. As the evening grew  darker, its eager longing for the fire mastered it. [...] Later, the dog howled loudly. And  still later it moved close to the man and caught the smell of death.  This made the animal back away. A little longer it delayed, howling  under the stars that leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold  sky. Then it turned and ran along the trail toward the camp it knew,  where there were the other food providers and fire providers.

read this excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address on January 20, 1961:

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
