A) a desire to retreat from society when necessary.

Explanation:

In Walden, Henry David Thoreau describes his experiences living at a cabin in the forest for two years. Thoreau tells us that he engaged in this experiment in order to be away from society for a while. He believed that this would strengthen his spirit and resolve. He also believed that this would make him more self-reliant, which he argues, is a characteristic that all people should have. Finally, this experience helps him reconnect with nature.
