Answer:
OC Losing a loved one can cause people to think and act in extreme ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
George Saunders' short story "The Red Bow" revolves around a family's pain of having to bury their daughter killed by an infected dog. And in their attempt to save others the same horror, they began killing animals they suspect of being infected, leading to a large-scale hunt for exterminating any possible animal.
In the story, Uncle Matt and the others represent a totalitarian government bent on trying to 'organize' the whole community to follow in their ideology. Even though the issue was sparked by the death of the small girl, by the end of the story, it was more like a campaign for the death of all animals. Moreover, the grieving mother's declaration to "Kill every dog, every cat, she said very slowly. Kill every mouse, every bird. Kill every fish. Anyone objects, kill them too" shows how much of an extremity people are willing to go to because of their grief.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
