Answer:

B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.  

Explanation:

The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, <em>Vashti</em> and<em> Kuno (her son).</em> In the story, <u>people were living underground</u> and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global <em>Machine. </em>People were placed in<em> isolated rooms</em> where they communicated with other people through <em>instant messages and video conferences. </em>There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.

Unlike her son<em>, Kuno</em>, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, <em>Vashti</em> was<em> "not interested in natural inspiration." </em>So, this explains her remark above. It shows<u> how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature.</u> This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."

So, this explains the answer.
