Answer:
OA. Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone.
Explanation:
Jack London's short story "To Build A Fire" revolves around the story of a solitary hiker and his dog and their efforts to get to the camp where their friends were stationed at. Despite the warnings from experts, the young, stubborn man went forward with the hike only to come to his death.
Among the given lines from the text, option A shows how the man is arrogant and overconfident about himself. By the mere statement that "any man who was a man could travel alone" shows how he is overconfident of himself. Moreover, he seemed to be arrogant with his declaration that "those old-timers were rather womanish".
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
