The selection sentence that best illustrates the author's main point is that the rising death count provides the counterpoint: there are places that humans simply cannot tame, as shown in the second answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The article shows how the climb of Mount Everest has already caused the death of many climbers, but it has not stopped new climbers from trying to climb it.
  • To prevent the number of people who die in this activity from increasing, humans use technology to create new equipment and clothing that increase the climber's safety.
  • However, these technologies are not able to completely eliminate the death of climbers.

With this, the author shows that even though climbing Mount Everest is an exciting activity, there are places that human beings will never be able to completely conquer because the force of nature in those places is stronger than anything else.
