Answer is (c) (third option).

By process of elimination one can determine that

  • Taking his surroundings by granted can not be the answer since the question asks the way of knowing and responding to them.
  • Metaphors that compare the natural and the urban world are deffinetely not a way of knowing, but a cultural product or craft (meaning poetry/literature).
  • And, finally, relying on instinct and intuition is not what man (as an species) does, but rather..

...uses language, always based on man's position in the world, to determine distance, location, measure and so forth.
