Answer:

A. The pond returns of its former state after a storm.

Explanation:

"Walden" or "Walden; or, Life in Woods" is penned by Henry David Thoreau. It is a series of 18 essays. The inspiration to write these essays, Thoreau, got from the Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts, that he lived near for almost two years. The essays were published in 1854; is an important contribution to the development of Transcendentalism.

Thoreau, in his essays, describes the simplicity of life one can experience by being closer to nature.

When there is dust or storm, the pond returns to its former state of quietness and calmness.
