This particular excerpt makes part of the bigger poem "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls", written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow between 1807 and 1822. In essence, this particular poem makes reference to the process of life, death and rebirth, through the image of the ocean, its movements, its activities and its effects on life. The poem is short, only three stanzas long, and most of it shows the sadness of life as it comes and then ebbs away, marking with it the time limitation on life.
In this particular excerpt of the poem, Longfellow is making reference to how natural events, like the flow of the sea, affect human beings, their lives, and links the two things, human life, and nature, by giving an almost human characteristic to the ebb and flow of the sea. This is why, the correct answer here is B: Human beings are challenged by events in the natural world.
If this is the book I'm thinking of then this question is in my favor. This is The Magician's Nephew that is apart of the Narnia series, right? (Granted, I haven't read the whole book)
The protagonist of The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis is a young boy named Digory. He behaves like any other 'normal' boy. He's got a taste for danger and adventure, and doesn't mind disregarding the rules for the sake of curiosity or invalidation. With his friend Peggy by his side, they are transported into the magical world of Charn. There, they find the queen, awake her, and cause the conflict that disrupts the story. Digory is saddened by this, but determined to make it right.
The antagonist of this story is debatable, but most likely Uncle Andrew. He is greedy, self-centered, and ignorant of the possibilities of magic (and the affect it has on things). Uncle Andrew is only obsessed with power and being the strongest, and he is willing to use manipulation to get what he wants (though he's very bad at this). What he is searching for and unable to find is the power he seeks and the escape from the conflict he inevitably started.
