Deandre Henson · Answer 2

B.

Explanation:

"The World Without Us" is a non-fiction novel written by Alan Weisman. The book themes on nature without human beings.

In Chapter 3 of the book namely, "The City Without Us", the author takes an example of the city of New York. He illustrates what would happen to the city of New York after such times and how nature will take over the city and rebuild the native vegetation.

He talks about the New York Botanical Garden, which is spread across the Bronx Zoo in the area of 250 acres. In this garden is the virgin New York forest. The forest is spread across the area of 40 acres. The author foretells what would happen if this forest would never be cut off and logged, how the fungus and diseases would take over and make the vegetation grow vast in the area.

So, the correct answer is option B.
