Which idea from “The Monkey’s Paw” represents the theme of the story?

Those who try to overrule fate do so to their sorrow.

People who want to get rich will end up disappointed.

It is always best to not take any risks in life.

Magic spells do more harm than good.

I haven't read the Monkey’s Paw in a long time, so I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific with my answer.
It's either those who try to overrule fate do so to their sorrow or people who want to get rich will end up disappointed..
