Reread this excerpt from The Call of the Wild. [Buck’s] sight and scent became remarkably keen, while his hearing developed such acuteness that in his sleep he heard the faintest sound and knew whether it heralded peace or peril. He learned to bite the ice out with his teeth when it collected between his toes; and when he was thirsty and there was a thick sc*m of ice over the water hole, he would break it by rearing and striking it with stiff fore legs. His most conspicuous trait was an ability to scent the wind and forecast it a night in advance. No matter how breathless the air when he dug his nest by tree or bank, the wind that later blew inevitably found him to leeward, sheltered and snug.

What is the best description of Buck‘s character, based on this excerpt?

A. Buck is peaceful and content.

B. Buck is strong and aggressive.

C. Buck is instinctive and clever.

D. Buck is easygoing and mellow.

Please respond quickly, Thank you all you're all awesome!!
