Answer:

D. Wisdom is gained by listening to those who have gone ahead.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jack London's "To Build a Fire" narrates the story of a gold miner who had come to the Yukon territory in search of gold. And one time he ventured outside of the territory to go to his friends' camp but was warned by an older man to not go due to the bad weather. Ignoring the warnings, he went ahead with his plan taking along a native dog. On the way, he had to endure harsh conditions like the heavy snowfall, the freezing temperature and also couldn't manage to keep the fire alive resulting in him getting frostbite. Soon, he had become so cold with no means of warming himself and too proud to return back, he died in the freezing snow. his dog left him and went ahead to look for warmer place. This story shows the conflict of nature and man. how nature can be a powerful force not to be reckoned with, the advice of elders are always good to be taken into account and also the pride of man that also led to his downfall, in this case, literal death.
