William Cuthbert Faulkner was an American novelist and short-story writer best known for his novels and short tales set in the fictitious Yoknapatawpha County, which was centered on Lafayette County, Mississippi, where Faulkner spent a good portion of his youth.
Faulkner's "Speech Accepting the Nobel Prize in Literature," asked writers to be cognizant of what is "essential" while humanity faced atomic anxieties and fears. The speech was a declaration that, despite humanity's predicament, we would not only endure but also triumph.
The fundamental point of Faulkner's Nobel Prize acceptance speech is that writers must overcome the anxiety that prevailed during the Cold War; they must rise above this fear and focus on the only thing worth writing about, which is "the human heart in a struggle with itself."
Thus, Option A is the correct option.
