Answer:

The theme that best fitsthe story of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" is D. The consequence of one's actions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the vein of early gothic literature, the book explores the consequences of trying to become a god and go beyond human boundaries. The fact that the extended title made allusion to the myth of Prometheus - who stole fire from the gods and faced consequences - also points to this. Victor Frankenstein follows his scientific interests without thinking of the consequences, and the actions of the monster display the consequences of Victor's irresponsibility.

The correct answer should be D.The consequences of one's actions

This should be correct because it shows the consequences of the Doctor's actions and the consequences of the monster's action, even though the doctor himself was the bigger monster.
