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.

Answer:
The open road stretched ahead of them. There was only one way they could go. In the distance Kaiden saw a faint light piercing through the trees. Exhausted, the group finally made it to the light source. The old man on the porch of the cabin, the official “Welcome Committee” quickly raised his gun when he saw the daunting stature of Kristian, standing at 6’6. He then slowly lowered his gun when he saw the injured young gentleman. Though suspicious, the old man invited the group inside and made an ice bath for Tyler’s sprained ankle. He then asked how the injury happened. Kristian happily told the story, still secretly laughing as he replayed the events in his head.
