Answer 1

The answer is Letter C - Buck is losing his civilized characteristics.

The phrase "domesticated generations fell from him" means that his modern and civilized way of living is forgotten in favor of a natural and primitive way of living. This way of living helps him thrive in a situation that requires him to instinctively do things that he didn't know he could do.
