Which of the following best describes a central theme of the text?

A
Identity comes from what we do and are, not what we look like.
B
Social pressure can turn independent people into just faces in a crowd.
C
Being sad and upset by tragedy is okay, and people should not hide it away.
D

The poem:
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes, —
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
