Answer:

The correct option is: B. "It shows the reader what happens when one follows his or her personal legend."

Step-by-step explanation:

Paulo Coelho encouraged the pursuit of one's dreams and aspiration by means of telling this story to his readers. His message in this self help book was for one to not lose hope and give up in the face of adversity, rather carry on strong in the pursuit of one's dreams.
