B
the fallen log provided a resting place for the hiker.
C

Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The introductory phrase "Covered in thick, green moss" describes a physical object. "The fallen log" is the correct subject.
Choice A is incorrect because "the hiker" is typically not covered in moss in this context. Choice C is incorrect because it implies "the hiker" is covered in moss due to being the subject. Choice D is incorrect because "resting" is not covered in moss.
