Need help please

A Tortoise, seeing an Eagle in flight, wanted much to fly like him. So she asked him if he would not teach her to fly.
He told her that it was impossible; that Tortoises could not fly. All the more did she urge him; so at last the Eagle seized her in his claws, bore her to a great height, and then, letting her go, bade her fly.
She fell like a stone to the earth, and the blow knocked the breath out of her body.

Looking at how the Tortoise responds to the challenge of being told she cannot fly, what is the theme of the text?

a) If you refuse to take advice from someone who knows more than you, then you might get hurt.
b) If your strength is swimming, then you should never try something new, like flying.
c) Taking a small risk is a great way to expand your horizons.
d) Do not listen to someone who tries to stop you from following your dreams.
