The cub could not understand. He was appalled. The awe of man rushed over him again. His instinct had been true. His mother verified it. She, too, rendered submission to the man-animals.Which best states the perspective of White Fang’s mother in the excerpt?
Answer

Explanation
The mother crouches low, whimpers, wags her tail, and makes signs of peace when the man calls her. These actions show submission and an effort to appease him, rather than preparing to attack or acting confused. The best choice is D, she is hoping to please the man by showing her obedience.
