Question

Explanation:

This question refers to Jack London's To Build a Fire. In the story, the man accidentally breaks through thin ice, soaking his feet and legs in freezing water. To avoid hypothermia and death, he must quickly build a fire to dry his clothes and warm himself. The other options do not align with the key plot event that forces the urgent fire-building.
