A. The history of civilization is a history of wandering, sword in hand, in search of food.

Explanation:

Jack London has a serious argument with humans because of the regular migration that occurs because of the lack of enough resources. When discussing the migrate motivations because of the economic securities and other better opportunities. The arguments, therefore, are reduced by getting themselves from hunger that had stricken thousands of lives and other Slovak immigrants who had settled in Pennsylvania. The imaginary part of the Drift was the precarious islands that received the drifts that promoted civilization in Ceylon.
