Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze the plot of The Call of the Wild. Buck's joining the "call of the wild" (embracing his primitive, wild nature) is symbolized by his interaction with the timber wolf pack. Option C describes him eating a deer with the timber wolf pack, which aligns with his integration into the wild. Option A (killing a moose) is an action but not the symbolic joining. Option B (sitting and howling) is not the key symbolic act. Option D (returning to camp near fire) is a return to domesticity, opposite of joining the wild.

Answer:

C. He eats a deer with the timber wolf pack.
