D. Zeitoun is considering the religious nature of the flood.

Explanation:

Dave Eggers' "Hurrican Katrina" is the story of Abdulrahman Zeitoun. He was born Syrian-born American who was caught in Hurricane Katrina. Everyone left Louisiana but Zeitoun planned to stay back and look after his home and business. He was declared to be a terrorist and was denied to make any contact with anyone. The story revolves around his life from being alone to be arrested and later to be free. There were many layers of his life which Eggers had tried to unfold in his story.
