Answer:

C. We are all pilgrims walking through life with our own stories to tell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cantebury Tales manifests Chaucher's thorough knowledge and understanding of his culture, and they can even reflect some facets of himself, but the Tales can very well be considered a extended metaphor of people in general, from all walks of life, just passing through this life, and having a great need to talk about their experiences, dreams , fears, etc.
