Explanation:

In literature, a bookend refers to a technique mainly used in novel in which the author states an idea, scene, image, anecdote or similar at the beginning of the literary work and ends this element just at the end of the literary work or when the main story has ended. This means bookends serve both as an opening and as a closure of a literary work. Also, bookends are a recommended technique as the audience feels interested to know the end of the idea, image or similar presented and the beginning and therefore motivated to read the literary work. Considering this, the statement that provides the best definition of the term "bookend" is "An image or idea that occurs at the very beginning and very end of the book".
