c)

Explanation:

Here is an excerpt from White Fang regarding tepees:

"White Fang couldn't stop looking at the poles in the ground that had strange cloths and skins on them. Their sheer size surprised him. He was afraid of these teepees. But as soon as he saw children passing in and out of them without harm, his fear passed. After some time, White Fang wandered away from Kiche and headed toward a teepee. He approached carefully and sniffed the cloth. He waited. Nothing happened. He closed his teeth on the strange fabric and gently pulled. Nothing happened. He tugged harder and harder until the entire teepee collapsed. The sharp cry of the squaw inside sent him scampering back to his mother for safety"

We can notice that White Fang was afraid of teepees but then he sees children going in an out of them without harm, so he decides to approach the teepee, he examines it sniffing it, pulling the fabric gently and then harder and nothing happens. Eventually he pulls so hard that the teepee collapses but it doesn't hurt it.

Therefore, the correct answer is c) He explores a teepee and it doesn't hurt him.
