Read this passage from Part 1 of "To Build a Fire," Part 1 by Jack London.

The sting that followed upon the striking of his fingers against his leg ceased so quickly that he was startled, he had had no chance to take a bite of biscuit. He struck the fingers repeatedly and returned them to the mitten, baring the other hand for the purpose of eating. He tried to take a mouthful, but the ice-muzzle prevented. He had forgotten to build a fire and thaw out. He chuckled at his foolishness, and as he chuckled he noted the numbness creeping into the exposed fingers. Also, he noted that the stinging which had first come to his toes when he sat down was already passing away. He wondered whether the toes were warm or numbed. He moved them inside the moccasins and decided that they were numbed.

What theme is expressed in this passage?

A-The man seems to be getting frostbite.

B-Living in nature has its hazards

C-The man cannot eat because his face is frozen.

D-Small mistakes can have big consequences.
