The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the first choice "immersion in nature is true happiness"


Emerson is often characterized as an idealist philosopher and indeed used the term himself of his philosophy, explaining it simply as a recognition that plan always precedes action. For Emerson, all things exist in a ceaseless flow of change, and “being” is the subject of constant metamorphosis.


I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless you and have a nice day ahead!
