Answer:
The best option is: "b. as an alluring display".
Explanation:

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.
