Answer:

Examples of historical preservation from the options provided include:

  1. Restoring the natural patina on the copper framing the windows in an old office building - This involves maintaining the historical appearance and integrity of the building's materials.

  2. Resealing the heart pine in the frame of an old hunting lodge - This is a preservation effort to maintain the original materials and structure of the lodge.

  3. Carefully patching damaged wood in the pews of a 19th-century church - This is a direct preservation effort to maintain the original features of the church.

The option of building an exact replica of the old marina that was destroyed a decade earlier is not considered historical preservation, as it involves creating a new structure rather than preserving an existing historical one.
