Alejandra is writing an introduction to her essay about the preservation of rainforest wildlife:

Over the years, industrial activities like logging have been slowly destroying the homes of rainforest wildlife. Many rainforest species are at risk of dying out completely because they can't live in their natural habitats anymore. If deforestation can't be banned, then we need alternatives. We should create natural parks and sanctuaries to allow these animals to exist freely and safely.

Given Alejandra's underlined thesis and the context that precedes it, select the best hook for the beginning of her paragraph to generate reader interest.

• a.)
• "Companies that practice logging use machines called harvesters to cut down trees. There are many well-known manufactures of these machines, including Caterpillar and John Deere."
• b.)
• "Can you name the world's endangered species off the top of your head? Probably not, because are there are far too many to list."
• c.)
• "Imagine waking up one day to the sound of a logging machine cutting down the trees in your yard. This is a reality for the many animals who live in our rainforests."
• d.)
• "Deforestation is a problem that has been going on for over a hundred years."
