Answer:

A. The message that the author wants to convey.

Explanation:

In any text or passage, themes are those ideas or morals or lessons or message that the author is trying to convey to the readers. These themes may differ in various ways, but whatever is learned through the reading of the text suggests that that idea or theory or underlying, recurring message is the one lesson that the author wants us to take away from the story. Themes are used by writers in trying to address and send out to their readers. And themes may or may not be addressed or stated directly, but as long as the message is received, it all becomes a theme. Thus, themes can be simply states as the underlying moral or lesson that the readers get from reading any text of the story.
