Final answer:
The men in Cavendish's poem are best described as angry and hostile towards White Fang, viewing him as a target for sport and taking pleasure in animal cruelty. The correct option is (C).
Step-by-step explanation:
The men's perspective in the excerpt can be best described as viewing White Fang with anger and hostility.
This reflects their intent to harm White Fang for sport, as inferred from Cavendish's poem where the men are described as taking pleasure in cruel acts towards animals, likened to their treatment of fellow humans.
Their enjoyment is born out of hunting and killing solely for recreation and sport, not out of fear or concern.
Similarly, in the other excerpts, men display various attitudes towards animals and the challenges they face, ranging from fear and confusion to comfort in the company of domesticated animals amidst the wilderness.
