Passage:
In its simple form, science has helped man to protect himself from Nature and to overcome natural obstacles to movement. But with the advance of science, a situation has arisen in which Nature need to be protected from man. He has used Nature’s own gifts, not only of metal but even the human brain, to attack Nature. Forests are being destroyed not only to satisfy need but to provide luxuries. The evil effects of deforestation are already making themselves clearly felt in climatic changes and soil erosion. Man has at last begun to learn that he has to protect if he wants Nature to protect him.
Nature now needs to be protected from man because
- Anature has become weak
- Bman is rapidly destroying Nature
- Cman is cruel to animals
- Dman has become irrational
Explanation
The passage's turning point is explicit: 'a situation has arisen in which Nature need to be protected from man', because he attacks Nature and destroys forests for luxuries. 'Nature has become weak' misreads the cause; cruelty to animals and irrationality are not the passage's charge. Hence option B is correct.
