During her childhood, Rachel showed an interest in nature and in writing. After high school, she entered Pennsylvania State College for women, aiming at becoming a writer. She switched to biology, however, thus setting the course of her life. Rachel went to Johns Hopkins University for further study and became a member of the zoology(动物学)staff at the University of Maryland.
For fifteen years, Rachel worked for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, writing and editing publications. Fortunately, her employer encouraged her to reach a larger audience. Rachel’s poetic style of writing in three books about the ocean caught the imagination of the general reader. Her rare talent as both a physical scientist and a gifted writer earned her the National Book Award for the Sea Around Us.
Rachel’s next book marked her as a leading fighter for the preservation of the natural environment. She began writing Silent Spring, knowing that she would be personally attacked and ridiculed. She continued writing despite the ill health that slowed her progress. Upon completing the book, she wrote to a close friend, "I have felt obliged to do what I could if I didn’t at least try I could never again be happy in nature. But now I believe I have at least helped a little. "
Rachel Carson did more than help a little. Although both government and industry opposed her, specialists in public health, the press, and the public itself all supported her fight against the irresponsible use of insecticides(杀虫剂). Her book eventually led the government to ban DDT.
We know from the passage that Rachel was the author of at least ______.
选项

B、4 books
C、5 books
D、6 books
