In "The Maori: Genealogies and Origins in New Zealand,” which evidence best helps the reader infer that the Maori people live in a difficult climate?

Tawhiri represents the winds and storms, and after escaping he continues to trouble the other beings. This suggests that the Maori regularly face harsh weather, making choice C, “Since Tawhiri escaped, the Maori often battle the weather,” the best evidence. Choice D is less fitting because the story does not suggest people have to hunt Tawhiri down.
