Answer 1

A

This moment contrasts with White Fang’s earlier wild independence: instead of reacting solely from instinct, he looks to his master and depends on him. That contradiction shows White Fang’s growing bond with people and develops his character (trust, domestication). The other choices misread the scene — it’s not about effortless adaptation, indifference to setting, or immediate curiosity.
