One night he sprang from sleep with a start, eager-eyed, nostrils quivering and scenting, his mane bristling in recurrent waves. From the forest came the call (or one note of it, for the call was many noted), distinct and definite as never before, - a long-drawn howl, like, yet unlike, any noise made by husky dog. And he knew it, in the old familiar way, as a sound heard before.

Answer:

I would have to go with "We are all ruled by natural instincts. ".

Step-by-step explanation:

The animal immediately takes note to the howl, which seems to be its instinct due to how it behaves and acts, which he even calls it a "familiar" sound. As for the other answers, the passage says nothing about leadership, nothing about survival, and I don't really see a connection of "Both the wild and civilization have rules. " to the passage.

I hope this helps!
