D. “‘No one living can remember seeing a Znaeym and a von Gradwitz talking to one another in friendship.’”

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. After the strong wind that leaves them pinned to the giant tree, the two enemies threaten each other. However, after the blow, Ulrich offers Georg a drink from his wine flask, which makes the latter realize how similar they are. As a result, they become friends.
