Question

Further, [White Fang] was more directly connected with the Wild than [the other dogs]; and he knew more of its secrets and stratagems. A favourite trick of his was to lose his trail in running water and then lie quietly in a near-by thicket while their baffled cries arose around him. Which best describes the force that motivates White Fang to run for the woods when chased?

Answer 1

The available options are:

A. an external force based on friendship

C. an internal force based on instinct

D. an internal force based on feelings

Answer:

B. an external force based on setting

However it's an external force because this activity of White Fang running to the wood is caused by the chasing dogs.
