What should you do if you encounter a bear in the wild and it does not see you?

Try to feed it to keep it calm
Approach quietly to get a better view
Back away quietly without turning your back
Make loud noises to scare it away

The correct answer is: Back away quietly without turning your back

Encountering a bear in the wild can be a scary and potentially dangerous situation. It is important to know how to handle this situation in order to protect yourself and the bear. Option A is incorrect because feeding a bear can provoke it and cause it to become more aggressive. Option B is incorrect because approaching a wild animal is never a good idea, especially when it may perceive you as a threat. Option D is incorrect because making loud noises can also startle and anger the bear, increasing the likelihood of an attack. Therefore, the only safe and recommended course of action is to calmly back away from the bear without making any sudden moves or turning your back. This will minimize the chances of the bear seeing you as a threat and attacking.
