Explanation:

From the excerpt, it says "The name of these roots is the Great White Roots and their nature is peace and strength" and also "the peace and strength of the confederacy" (the Iroquois Confederacy is related here). The Great White Roots' nature is peace and strength, and option B is "the peace and strength of the confederacy", which matches the description. Other options: A is about compassion, C about patience, D about wisdom of leaders, none match the "peace and strength" nature of the roots as described.

Answer:

B. the peace and strength of the confederacy
