By analysis, we deduce that Hopkins means people are out of touch with God because they're out of touch with the earth. The correct answer is D. Earth is God's creation, so naturally, if we are close to nature and all that it has to offer us, we will be close to God. Hopkins states here that the earth is bare, and we cannot feel its riches anymore. So, by extension, we don't feel closeness to God anymore because our connection with the Earth is gone.
