Which excerpt from "The Turtle” best shows that the turtle is following her natural instincts by building a nest?


A. breaks from the blue-black
skin of the water, dragging her shell
with its mossy scutes

B. She’s only filled
with an old blind wish.
It isn’t even hers but came to her

C. Crawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed against her skin,
she doesn’t dream

D. she knows
she is a part of the pond she lives in,
the tall trees are her children,
