Answer

Brief Explanations:

The poem states that nature (birds, trees, Spring) would not "know", "care", or "mind" if humanity perished. This indicates a lack of concern or indifference. Options A (disapproval) and B (cruelty) imply negative emotions which aren't shown. Option D (cautiousness) suggests wariness which isn't present. The key lines like "not one will know of the war...not one would mind, neither bird nor tree If mankind perished utterly" support indifference.

Answer:

C. displays their indifference to humanity.
