However, it does not directly extend the idea that people only appreciate things that can be seen.

It suggests that if something is not always visible, people may struggle to understand its importance, thereby extending the idea.
C. "People forget about comets quickly because they appear only once in a lifetime." - This statement talks about people forgetting about comets quickly because they appear once in a lifetime.

Read the text and answer the following question(s).
Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie's family immigrated to the United States from Scotland in 1848. At 12 he worked in a cotton factory during the day and went to school at night. Two years later, he became a messenger boy in the Pittsburgh Telegraph Office and earned $2.50 per week!
His skills were noticed by the superintendent Thomas A. Scott. Scott made Carnegie his private secretary and personal telegrapher in 1853. His rise in the company was rapid and in 1859 he took over Scott's position.
Carnegie saved his money and invested in the Woodruff Sleeping Car Company. They made the first successful sleeping car on American railroads. He made other good investments, and by the age of 30 Carnegie earned $50,000 annually.
Anticipating the demand for steel and iron, Carnegie left the Pennsylvania Railroad and began managing the Keystone Bridge Company in 1865. Carnegie built the first steel plant in the United States in the 1870s. He used the Bessemer steelmaking process to make steel quickly and on a large scale. By 1900, three million tons of steel were produced by Carnegie's mills every year. Carnegie's fortune grew to two hundred fifty million.
After fulfilling his dream of increasing steel production in the U.S., Carnegie sold his company to J.P. Morgan's newly formed United States Steel Corporation in 1901. Carnegie retired and spent much of his time and money helping others. During his retirement, Carnegie started many libraries throughout the United States.
Carnegie believed that a man who accumulates a lot of money should use his wealth for "the improvement of mankind." He wrote a famous article, "Wealth," which appeared in the June 1889 issue of the North American Review and stated, "The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced." Andrew Carnegie was honored throughout his lifetime for his achievements.
