The correct answer is B) They are curious but generally unafraid.

The Townspeople's first reaction to the appearance of the cylinder from Mars was that they are curious but generally unafraid.

We are talking about the famous and controversial novel "The War of the Worlds," written by English author George Wells in 1898. The story refers to an invasion of Earth by the Martians. Specifically, in the chapter called "The Cilynder Opens," Wells refers to the strange object that hosts the Martians.

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

H.G.Wells science fiction novel ‘The War of the World’ is all about the conflict between humans and an alien race. This novel is one of the most praiseworthy science fiction novel of all times.

It so happens that when the townspeople first encountered an odd circular disk with some bulging creatures arriving from that disk, first they are curious but not afraid. Wells depicts in the novel how humans have no control over the fate.
