Explanation
The speaker first describes the turtle as determined to complete what she was “born to do,” then realizes the turtle does not think about having a purpose. She is simply driven by an instinctive wish. This suggests that living things are guided by a natural purpose, even when they are not consciously thinking about it. Choice A expresses that message.
