The right answer is B It encourages a close personal relationship with nature. Thoreau was part of a movement called TRANSCENDENTALISM. Transcendentalists wanted to “awaken” a new outlook for a new democratic age. Their goal was to foster spirituality in harmony with the perfectionism of both the divine and of divinity’s creation: nature. Nature was Thoreau's first great subject; the question of how we should live was his second. Thoreau was committed to lead what Emerson called a life of “plain living and high thinking.”
