Explanation:

To determine which passage supports the idea that the Polish II Corps considered Wojtek a true army unit member, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Describes Wojtek mimicking soldiers' actions (walking upright, saluting), which implies he was treated as part of the unit.
• Option B: Shows soldiers' refusal to leave him, but this is about not abandoning him, not about considering him a unit member.
• Option C: Explains his name meaning, not his status as a unit member.
• Option D: Tells the story of adopting him, not his role in the unit.

Option A's details of him acting like soldiers (saluting) best support the idea he was seen as a true member.

A. Sometimes [Wojtek] walked upright on his hind legs just like the men. According to some stories, he even learned to salute.
