Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

This title sounds the most likely to be a fiction novel since it is unlikely that a 17-year-old participated casually in a dogsled race in the Antarctic. Moreover, the tone of the supposed novel description is quite light-hearted and does not reflect the danger noted in the other descriptions.

The other three books are all reports or documentaries that adapted real stories to story form and therefore contain geographical and historically sound facts.
