Answer:
The best option is: "b. as an alluring display".
Explanation:
Although letter "a" is a possible answer, it is not correct to state that because Nature is not a piece-giving gift for the characters in this passage, as they are more close to admire the beauty of the scene rather than feeling that inside of their own senses. Letter "c" is not possible because the characters are not "detached observers", they are living and going through Nature very close. Letter "d" does not make sense as an answer because Nature is not portrayed as bothersome, it is the contrary. Therefore, letter "b" is the best option for it presents the natural environment as an alluring and enchanting display, as almost a cool painting.
