The second option (in the photo).
Explanation:
The theme is what the entire story is about. So while we are talking 'bout this excerpt, we can see right away in the first sentence that this would be what the whole thing would be focused on. I actually had this exact same question on a test one year ago (5th grade), and I got it correct. So the second option in the photo is correct. Pls mark Brainliest!!
