While I cannot access the poem "Hurricane" by Mary Oliver directly, I can help you identify the theme based on the options provided.

If the poem emphasizes nature's resilience or the ability of the natural world to endure and adapt, the first option—"Humans can learn from the perseverance of the natural world"—would best encapsulate that theme.

On the other hand, if the poem focuses on timing, unpredictability, or the emotional response to disasters, then the other options could be fitting.

Based on the common themes in Oliver's work, I would lean toward the first statement as a strong candidate for the theme, but it's essential to consider the specific details and tone of the poem to make a definitive choice. If you have more context or details from the poem, I can help further refine the answer.
