d. his feet begin to freeze after he falls through the ice.

Explanation:

This question refers to Jack London's To Build a Fire. The man falls through thin ice, wetting his feet, which quickly start to freeze in the extreme cold; he builds the emergency fire to thaw his feet and avoid frostbite that would leave him unable to walk.

Answer:

D. His feet begin to freeze after he falls through the ice.
