HEIDEGGER: In Enlightenment’s “mathematization” of nature, what do objects NOT appear as?
A
Things to be mastered
B
Something to be changed to fit humanity
C
a problem that needs a certain answer
D
Something to be protected
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Heidegger, such nature as present-at-hand arises derivatively from the nature as ready-to-hand. That is, first of all, we encounter nature as available in everyday life, and it is in hand in the relationships of the “in-order-to” of the environing world (Umwelt).

Detailed explanation-2: -In our time ‘being’ has the character of a technological ‘framework’, from which humans approach the world in a controlling and dominating way. This technological understanding of ‘being’, according to Heidegger, is to be seen as the ultimate danger.

Detailed explanation-3: -First, the essence of technology is not something we make; it is a mode of being, or of revealing. This means that technological things have their own novel kind of presence, endurance, and connections among parts and wholes. They have their own way of presenting themselves and the world in which they operate.
