参考答案【正确答案：D】
本题目为原因细节题。根据题干关键词simplified view Moritz定位到第8段的首句，“the human systems and the landscapes... are linked and the interactions go both ways”,人类与环境是相联系的，并且是相互作用的。正确答案D的interactions是原文的原词复现，man and nature同义替换原文的human... and landscapes。干扰项A原文未提及；选项B的human systems是原词，但是并无mechanism偷换概念；选项C的landscape和human是原词出现，但添加无关信息maximize。
