Answer:
B. Despite an early shared interest in the tree, the parents react less strongly than the narrator to what they learn about the tree.
Explanation:
Anthony Lentini's short story "Autumntime" revolves around the story of a young protagonist and his parents' visit to a 'natural site', where a real tree grows and had survived. The plot is set in a futuristic world where nothing natural thrives and everything is more technological than natural.
The unnamed narrator and his parents had gone on a family trip to Boston to see the only surviving and a thriving tree that had secretly survived the onslaught of scientific development. The narrator revealed he had secretly pocketed <em>"an acorn"</em> from the tree they visited, and that would be the reminder of his trip to see the living, natural tree. And when he learned of the plan to 'remove' the tree in the next year, he seemed distraught and deeply affected, though that couldn't be said of his parents. Maybe the parents had known this was coming or are just accustomed to the change, though it was a new thing for the boy.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
