The given passage tells us about their relationship with nature. We can see that they have only positive feelings about nature, that they respect it. They know that it came first. Many creatures that surround us were already a part of this world before we, humans, appeared. They respect nature because of that, and because it was made for us. Without other lifeforms surrounding us, we wouldn't have been able to survive and develop as we did.
Thus, the correct option is D.
