The man's decision to start a fire under the snowy branches of a tree indicate that he is foolish and careless.
Jack London's "To Build A Fire" is about a young miner and his experience in the wintery and snowy Yukon mountains. The plot follows the fateful journey of the young man and his attempts to get to his friends' location at Henderson Creek.
- When the young man first started setting out for the way, he was warned by an old man from Sulphur Creek to not travel alone "after 50 below zero."
- This advice was 'ignored' by the young man and instead, he went ahead to travel the snowy mountains with his dog.
- Along the way, he decided to make a fire, but under a snow-covered branch.
- This eventually led to the snow coming down on them, leaving them colder than before.
- The decision would lead to the death of the young man with only the dog arriving at Henderson Creek.
Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
