Explanation:

In "The Call of the Wild", when Hal was cruelly beating Buck, John Thornton stepped between them to protect Buck. The other options (Hal pulling a gun, throwing Buck in a river, or sending dogs with no food) do not match the event that led to someone intervening between Hal and Buck.

Answer:

D. Hal was cruelly beating Buck.
