Which excerpt from The Great Fire supports the theme that some people try to take advantage of others during disasters?

A) An exhausted Chamberlin came to the Randolph Street Bridge and discovered "a torrent of humanity pouring over the bridge."

B) " ... when one overloaded wagon broke down, there were enough men on hand to drag it and its contents over the bridge by force."

C) Eventually, White got his wagon through, deposited his possessions, and headed back.

D) I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load.
