The correct answer is option D. "Survival". In the play "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, the character of Mama is one of a dreamer trying to have her own house and take care of her plant. Mama's plant symbolizes survival because she not abandon her care even though she has nothing and the plant is lacking sun and energy to live.
