What role does ambiguity play in most flash fiction stories?

It makes the story uninteresting until its very last scene.
It requires the writer to provide a tragic or otherwise sad ending.
It requires readers to infer, or guess at, the story’s meaning.
It allows writers to provide a neat, clearly stated message.

Answer:

I think it is actually C. It required readers to infer, or guess at, the story's meaning.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is some feedback my teacher gave me. "Ambiguity is the quality of not having a clearly defined meaning. For instance, an ambiguous detail is one that readers must interpret based on other clues in the story." And C matches that pretty well I think.
