Answer 2

B. The novel suggests that technology can create a living creature from a dead body.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that science fiction is characterized by having a content that is based in science. Remeber that although science theories are used or mentioned they are not followed in a rigorous way. The word fiction gives us a clue, the events and things that technology permits are created by the author's imagination. Some elements described or used can be possible according to actual science. In Frankestein, the doctor uses electricity, and stuff that resembles science to give life to dead bodies, in real life this doesn't work.
