Answer 1

A. C: because it leads to a deeper understanding of a story.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C is a better example of a complex theme because it leads to a deeper understanding of a story. Option C talks about love in general. However, it also presents a specific idea about it: the fact that it can bring out the best and worst in people. Therefore, while the idea is broad enough to be useful as a topic, it is also specific enough that it allows for a complexity that leads to a deeper understanding of a story.
