Explanation:

Answer:

A) It helps indicate the personification of nature.

Explanation:

Personification refers to the act of giving human qualities to non-human concepts, objects or ideas. In this case, it is "nature" that is personified. We know that the author has given nature human qualities because he talks about "the hand of Nature." Moreover, the author indicates it through the use of a capital letter at the beginning of the word "Nature."
