Imagists believed that poems should have "no ideas but in things." In other words, they would described powerful images, and instead of explaining what those images meant, they would let the reader decide what the meaning or value of those images might be.
Imagists were especially fond of inviting the reader to recognize how very different sorts of images can actually be really similar. Ezra Pound famously did this with his short poem "In a Station of the Metro," which associates "faces in the crowd" with "petals on a wet, black bough."
The poem in your question does something very similar by associating the cat's footprints in the snow with the blossoming flowers of a plum tree. The writer wants you to recognize the odd visual similarity of the footprints and the flowers, ideally to show how there's a kind of cosmic connectedness in the world by (because two very different things end up being really similar).

Option B. An example that Alan Weisman gives to show that nature has little concern for things that humans find important is <u>paintings in museums.</u>
Explanation:
American journalist Alan Weisman wrote a non-fiction book called "The World Without Us" in which he theorizes about what would happen to our planet and everything we have created and built, if humanity suddenly disappeared. Written as a thought experiment, the author explains that if humans disappeared, nature would restore itself everywhere, and by doing so, it would little by little destroy everything that humans considered vital and important, like paintings in museums. Valuable pieces of art that we, as humans, take great care of, would be destroy and ruined by the force of nature.
