A. Money in Bank Vaults

Explanation:

In his text, Alan Weisman talks about nature and the connection between nature and humans. He brings our attention to the fact that humans are often neglectful or unappreciative of nature, and instead focus on things that have no real relevance to the natural world. An example of a concept that shows how nature has little concern for some things that humans find important is that of money that is stored in bank vaults.
