The best answer to the question: Which sentence best expresses Jack London´s point of view in his essay "The Human Drift", would be B: Hunger is the primary motive that drives humans to wander to greener pastures.

Explanation:

"The Human Drift" is part of a series of works, written by author Jack London, and which was first published in 1917.

The essay is pretty impressive in the stark way that it portrays the fact that what has pushed humanity to develop, to grow, and especially to migrate from one place of the planet, to another, has been the sense of hunger, the desire to get something to eat. On and on, paragraph after paragraph, the author continues to drive the point that it has been hunger the driving force behind man seeking new places, and new ways of acquiring it. That is why the answer is B.
