Answer:

A. Grief never dies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven" tells the story of how a late night visit by a raven led to the speaker/ protagonist/ narrator of the poem think about life. This visit by the bird also taught him the

The unnamed narrator was sitting fore-lorn when the "tapping at [his] door" began the tale of the night visit poem. The speaker was missing his love, Lenore who we came to know, had recently died. Throughout the poem, the narrator asked the raven different types of questions to which the bird seemed to reply "nevermore". The very last question that he asked is that whether he will ever see his love Lenore again, to which the bird again replied "Nevermore". The most plausible theme in this poem is that "Grief never dies", for we see that narrator was devastated by the death of Lenore. Not only that, when the raven replied "nevermore" to his question/ query, he got angry at the bird and even cursed it.
