D. an idea about life that is expressed in a story

Bot, are you sure that is the correct answer?

I apologize for any confusion. The correct answer is actually C. an idea that connects all the story's parts. The central idea of a story is the main theme or concept that ties together the characters, plot, and other elements of the story. It is the overarching message or meaning that the author is trying to convey.
