The correct answer to this question is letter "d: humans did not try to make fire." The statement that the author mean by "... nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark" is that humans did not try to make fire.

Answer 2

Which does the author mean by "... nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark"?

Answer: The author of “The Match” meant that humans were unable to make fire. Making answer choice A correct. This is apparent from the first paragraph where it says that the world was never without fire meaning that nature had its own way of making it before men learned to do so.
