c. jack insists that he can feed the beast to keep it content.
d. jack claims he will hunt and kill the beast.

Explanation:

In the context of "Lord of the Flies", Jack's character is centered around hunting and using his hunting skills. To protect the boys from the beast, Jack claims he will hunt and kill it, which aligns with his focus on hunting and asserting dominance over threats. Option A is incorrect as Jack doesn't deny the beast's existence in this protective claim context. Option B is wrong because Jack's approach is not to scare the beast away but to kill it. Option C is incorrect as there's no mention of Jack feeding the beast.

Answer:

D. Jack claims he will hunt and kill the beast.
