a
b

Explanation:

To determine the historical event during which The Call of the Wild takes place, we analyze the options:

• The Civil War (a) occurred 1861–1865, unrelated to the novel’s setting.
• The Klondike Gold Rush (b) took place in the late 1890s in Alaska/Yukon, which matches the novel’s context (Buck is sold as a sled dog for gold rush expeditions).
• The California Gold Rush (c) occurred 1848–1855, too early and geographically distinct from the novel’s setting.
• The Mexican - American War (d) occurred 1846–1848, unrelated to the novel’s plot.

Answer:

B. the Klondike Gold Rush
