Whitman uses such a simple phrase as “who I am or what I mean” because he wants to communicate directly with readers (B). That's why he uses the direct pronoun "I" and also communicates with readers using the "you" diction.

EXPLANATION  

The poem "Song of Myself" is written in the style of Whitman's free poems. In section 39, Whitman glorifies the words "as simple as grass". It is a standard stanza that supports a simple style, which would attract a lot of readers.

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,

But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,

And filter and fibre your blood.

The quote above is part 52 of this poem. This part states how the poet entered about nature which is part of him. The poet merges with the grass leaves, which are the closest part to the ground and most come in contact with other natural creatures. The poem ends by developing the Transcendentalist theme which also applies it to the poet's personal experience.

We can actually infer that the details from "The Oasis: Africa" that best supports the central idea that nature can be severe and unkind is: "Clutch tight your water-skin on the desert, for there is no charity on the Sahara, and he that has no water shall not drink!"

<h3>What is central idea?</h3>

Central idea of a passage or story actually refers to the major and important idea that is seen in that passage or story which the writer seeks to communicate to the readers.

Central idea is also known as main idea. It usually tells about the important subject of a text, passage or story.

We can see that the last option actually shows the central idea of how nature can be unkind and severe. It shows that the Sahara (a natural desert area) has no charity for people.
