Answer: B
On the key's reading, the cities, gardens, cliffs and isles show that the Earth is friendly.
The poet addresses the Earth as 'You friendly Earth' just before listing the wheat-fields, rivers, cities, gardens, cliffs and isles, and these are things that nourish and shelter people. The list is offered as the evidence of that friendly nature.
Huge and well populated also fit the lines ('how far do you go', 'people upon you for thousands of miles'), and the poet is aware of the Earth's size, but the stanza starts from the word friendly. Small is the poet's description of himself and of the Earth only in the last stanza, as 'such a dot' next to a human being.
